WHY WE LOVE IT

Aval Paradís is one of those bottles that quietly changes how you think about cider. RIPE work with fruit the way a winemaker would — patient, precise, and led by what the season gives them — and the result is a cider with real structure and elegance. It drinks far more like a natural wine than anything you’d expect from apples: bright, textured, gently aromatic and beautifully balanced.

What makes it so special is the way it moves through a meal. There’s lift and freshness, but also depth — enough to hold its own against richer dishes without overwhelming them. I love serving it at dinner parties, especially with unexpected pairings like enchiladas or spiced, slow-cooked dishes. It’s the kind of bottle that stops a table in its tracks and becomes the conversation.

In our Classic Box, it brings a distinctive, wine-like sophistication — a bottle with true craft behind it and the ability to turn an everyday gathering into something memorable.

We produce natural cider on the south coast of Cornwall. All our ciders are made from 100% hand-picked apples, fermented with naturally occurring wild yeast, with no added sulphites, and aged for a minimum of 18 months. 

We're passionate about changing the perception of cider in this country, from an industrially produced sweet drink to a complex and delicious "native wine" that can be just as expressive of the fruit and terroir. 

We practise regenerative farming in the traditional orchards we manage and have planted, using no chemical inputs and mob grazing our flock of Shropshire sheep. Natural cider isn’t just environmentally sensitive — traditional orchards are also incredible hotspots for biodiversity, wildlife, and carbon storage.  

Sparkling, full juice wild fermented dry cider, no added sulphites, barrel aged,  6.2% abv

A juicy, sparkling cider made from an orchard blend of predominantly Norwood and Cornish Heritage Varieties, with a small amount of Yarlington Mill, Browns, Dabinett and Brown Snout. 

We get juicy grapefruit and white peach with a lovely slate minerality and a mouth-watering sherbet zing to finish.

This cider will pair beautifully with anything rich and savoury, think oily fish, shellfish, quiche, risotto or cheese; sharp cheddar or goat's cheese.
