Natural Scottish cider made with nothing but local apples, wild yeasts and minimal intervention.
Diggers Fine Cider
100% Scottish apples foraged from ancient orchards, local gardens and 2,800 newly planted apple trees in the Carse of Gowrie.
Our products
Diggers Fine Cider is a new cider business based in Perthshire specialising in natural unfiltered ciders, juices and vinegars made using slow, tradtional methods.
Local apples
We’ve planted nearly 3,000 apple trees and while we wait for them to grow to maturity, we use unwanted apples from unsprayed local orchards and gardens right here in Perthshire.
Wild yeasts
Whilst more temperamental than cultivated yeast- our fermentations utilise the naturally occurring wild yeasts, which are all around us, to enhance our cider’s taste, mouth feel and complexity.
Minimal intervention
What the apples give us is at the core of how we make our cider. We don’t like to get in nature’s way, so we create an environment where it can do its thing and we’re left with something that is natural and delicious.
