South West Orchards
South West Orchards is a cider brand produced by Sheppy's Cider, a Somerset family business with a long-standing history of apple growing and cider making in the West Country. The brand is distributed through Signature Brands and sits at the more accessible end of the craft cider market, with a range covering traditional draught and bottled cider alongside a low-alcohol offering.
The non-alcoholic version is 0.0% ABV and made from West Country apples. It's gently sparkling with a fresh apple character, natural sweetness balanced by a bit of acidity, and a light body that stops short of tasting watery. Vegan-friendly and gluten-free. Not a complex drink, but it does the orchard-fresh thing well without resorting to artificial sweetness.
Available through specialist online retailers including Dry Drinker, and the alcoholic versions are distributed more widely in the on-trade. This is a sensible pick for cider drinkers who want something that feels grounded in actual cider-making rather than a laboratory formulation.
