This cheeky little number is where it all began for us. Multi-award winning, fruity, medium dry vintage cider crafted exclusively with a blend of the juiciest traditional eating apple varieties. Friels First Press Vintage is made in a limited batch, using Red Falstaff, Katy and Windsor apples from each season’s harvest of our Herefordshire and Worcestershire orchards.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fruity apple
Taste: Medium dry apple, crisp finish
Food: Partner with gourmet burgers, hot dogs and chorizo pizza

All of our ciders are naturally gluten free so they’re suitable for coeliacs, as well as vegetarians and vegans!

  • The countdown is now on until @recordstoreday 2018, this Saturday 21st April. Since becoming Official Cider Partner for this annual event, we've been introducing you to some of the independent record stores we've been working with, to encourage you to get out there and explore your local stores. If you live in the Leicestershire area, then why not make it your mission to visit @TheAtticAshby this weekend, especially as Owner Ben Duncombe will be putting on quite a show for the big day! Here's a little bit more about Ben and his store... ➡️ First impression you want to make on people visiting your store: Wow this takes me back to proper record stores. ➡️ Favourite vinyl (classic or newly released): My favourite album at the moment is future islands the far field 5 out of 5 all day long. ➡️ What would you say to encourage people into your store to buy vinyl for the first time: I would say come and see it and it speaks for itself. We have 2 listening stations with loads of independent music waiting to be heard. We have a stage for acts to come and perform. Our own events which are always packed out and fun. Our own label “TAAR” which supports bands and acts and shows them how they can make money from the music industry. But mainly “you may not be a vinyl fan when you enter but you will be when you leave”.

  • We're loving our partnership with @recordstoreday and the launch parties were immense. We've met some great people, discovered some brilliant vinyl and enjoyed a can or two of Friels. Let us know if you sampled a Friels at your local record stores #RSD18 launch party!? #RecordStoreDay #RecordStores #Vinyl #Cider #CraftCider #FrielsCider #Friels
  • Independent record stores can be found all across the UK, with Scotland having its fair share of shops too. This includes the guys at Assai Records, who we're proud to support as part of @recordstoreday 2018. They don't just have the one store but two - @AssaiRecords in Dundee and @AssaiRecordsEdinburgh in the capital. ➡️ First record store visited: The old Our Price in Dundee's Murraygate, where our manager Andy once worked. My first purchase from there was Erasure's
