Founded in 2013 Kilmegan Cider is already internationally recognised as one of Northern Ireland’s premier craft ciders.

Irish Quality Food Awards and Great Taste Awards in 2015 were followed with further success in 2016 by becoming the first cider from Ireland to win a Trophy in the International Cider Challenge. This achievement was eclipsed a few weeks later by the results in the British Cider Championships held at the Royal Bath and West Show in Somerset, England. With over 600 ciders entered in what is recognised as the biggest cider competition in the world, Kilmegan Cider won the Dry category and went on to be crowned Reserve Supreme British Champion Cider for 2016.

Each autumn, carefully selected varieties of apples from counties Down, Armagh and Tipperary are pressed using an old traditional Rack and Cloth press at the Cidery outside the seaside village of Dundrum, Co. Down.

The juice from these apples is then fermented and matured for up to twelve months before bottling. Using 100% pure juice in our fermentation and sweetening process gives a natural clean and crisp finish to all our ciders.

Picked on warm, dry mornings and in their prime, local, wild elderflowers are only then ready to be carefully infused and later blended to our 100% pure juice and unfiltered ‘Real Cider’ to give you a delicate and subtle floral finish. Suitably chilled, our Elderflower Infused Cider is enjoyed on its own or as an accompaniment to most white meat, seafood or pasta dishes. Taste, Drink, Enjoy! (Contains natural sediment)
