This season we have a dry cider which is very apple-y and drinkable. We can fill 5L or 10L Bag in Boxes for you.
*All “Bag in Box” products must be kept in a fridge or cold room.
La Robeline Cidre dé Jèrri is made from cider apples grown in orchards around the Jersey countryside. Nothing is added to the apple juice which is fermented on the natural yeasts found on the apples. It is a traditional “Cidre Bouchee” - a slightly sparkling, Normandy style cider and the fizz is obtained through the secondary fermentation in the bottle. However, the Bag in Box cider comes straight from the stainless steel vats so is still - apple-y, refreshing and delicious but not sparkling!
Our special Cidre dé Jèrri cider is unique in the Channel Islands, being made in the French tradition and on authentic, restored equipment - the cider press was made in about 1905!
All of our apples are sourced locally. Each year we plant more orchards with varieties of apples closest to the local cider apples which would have been grown in the Island at the height of cider production and export in the 1800’s.
Our medium “Cidre dé Jèrri” won 2 Gold Stars at the 2015 Great Taste Awards – a great commendation for our Cider Maker, Mr Richard Matlock.
Each Bag in Box is filled to order so, choose which one you would like and add it to your apple cart!

Each batch of cider is different and the flavour and character of the cider is dependent on the varieties and “terroir” of the individual orchards. The art is in the blending of the apple varieties when the orchards are planted!
Orders can be collected from the farm gate at La Petite Robeline by prior arrangement or from Manor Farm most Sundays when we do our Wood Fired Sunday Roast. You can pay for your order either by bank transfer prior to colletion or by cash or card when we see you.
