ELEMENTAL CIDERElemental Cider sources heritage cider apples and pears from their own orchards in Otaki, and other specialty orchards in Ohau and Kuku. As a small family business, we do the lot....we grow the fruit, hand pick it, crush, press, ferment, bottle and sell! Our aim is to make natural dry ciders with integrity, without compromise, with no short cuts, and with minimal intervention. We work with what the fruit provides rather than infusing them with sugars, flavours and concentrates. 100% authentic.
