Shwmae, from Phil, Bianca & Alexa! We are a father & daughter run business based in the heart of the Afan Valley, South Wales.
Yes, we know! Wales isn’t specifically known for its cider! But in the last decade, our valley has just started to become green again! After such a hard long slog from our industrial revolution, after the tin plate works & mines have rested...this valley is thriving and so is our cider!
We pick, press, ferment, blend & bottle everything in house! Only Using Welsh apples. All our cider is made with 100% fresh pressed juice, with no added sulphites. No finings or additives & all wild ferments!
Which makes our cider naturally gluten free & vegan. You could say it’s one of your five a day!
Austringer meaning
Noun. Austringer (plural austringers) A keeper of goshawks (Hawks). The word is now rare, but is kept alive in falconry circles.
Papa Phil & Eldest Daughter Bianca have always had a keen interest in birds. Especially birds of prey.
Now that Austringer Cider has taken over completely, flying has taken a back seat for the time being. But our love for Nature & Birds lives on through our craft of cider making.
We believe Austringer’s cider reflects our nature. Simple & traditional with a modern twist.
