Historically, Herefordshire has long been known for the complexity of its cider, as well as their aging potential, and where its finest creations today are concerned the same holds true; they can be some of the richest and most complex ciders made anywhere. If anywhere on Earth holds great potential to be the leading light in the world of fine cider, given its history and the sheer number and quality of orchards it holds, it is Herefordshire. It is also the largest cider-making county in the largest cider-producing country in the world. But of course regardless of how exceptionally varied, locale-specific, and seasonally variable the fruit of an apple tree is, it is only as good as what you do with it. Chucking it in with thousands of others from orchards spread far and wide and then turning this into concentrate will negate almost all of any difference that would exist (which of course is the point of such methods, consistency). But variety can be consistent: it can be of a consistently high quality, and it can be consistently exciting by virtue of its variation, let alone the consistent refinement of the skill of the maker, season after season, by evidence of the ciders they make. Knowing a consistency of quality that is reached regardless of all of these variations and is expressive of the locale from which it came, now that is a special thing.
