Skylark is a next generation sparkling cider, popping with big notes of fresh Kentish dessert apples, followed by a flourish of complex cider tannins. Slow fermentation of this special blend of dessert and cider varieties, creates a medium dry, deeply refreshing cider for people who expect nothing but the best.

This ciders name ‘Castledore’ is taken from the iron age fort Castle Dore which stands just a few hundred meters from the Fowey Valley orchard.  Expect a wonderfully refreshing, medium dry, lightly carbonated cider. It is very clean on the palate, well balanced and the beautiful golden blush colour is completely natural.
