Rob Stockley's cider embodies a commitment to quality and sustainability, resulting in a drink that celebrates local produce. Rob's journey into the world of artisan cider began on an organic dairy farm, where he learned the rhythms of nature and the importance of working with the seasons. Growing up surrounded by lush pastures and the daily cycles of farm life, he developed a profound appreciation for the land and its bounty.
He sources his apples from traditional unsprayed Somerset orchards, including old orchards that Rob is currently restoring. The fruit is handpicked and only pressed when they are at their ripest. There are no additions or filtration and the cider is fermented with wild yeasts.
Rob can't claim many vintages under his belt so far in his cider making career but with the guidance and experience from working with the good folks at Wilding, his 2022 bottle releases are proving to be truly exciting and a new maker to watch out for. These are excellent expressions of the rural method which is taking hold as a brilliant low intervention method of making cider, particularly working so well among those from the South West counties of Somerset & Dorset.
