Founded by three friends over a pint in their native Ayrshire back in 2020, Ayrshire Riviera Cider is a unique, artisanal cider, rooted in the flavours of Scotland's southwest coast. This vegan, gluten-free cider is made solely from ethically grown local apples, including Sans Pareil, Emperor Alexander, Clydesdale, and Barnack Beauty varieties. Each apple is hand-picked or gathered as windfall, hand-pressed for pure, sweet juice with no added water or sugar. A six-month fermentation enhances the natural flavour and results in a crisp, refreshing cider with a bold 6% ABV.

Ayrshire Riviera Cider

Ayrshire Riviera Cider is a standout artisan cider from the west coast of Scotland, bringing together traditional craftsmanship and regional character. Launched in 2020 by three friends with a passion for authentic, local flavours, the cider uses only apples grown along Scotland’s scenic southwest coast. Varieties like Sans Pareil, Emperor Alexander, Clydesdale, and Barnack Beauty are hand-picked or collected as windfall, ensuring an eco-friendly, waste-conscious approach.

Once gathered, the apples are hand-pressed to capture the pure essence of their natural sweetness, without any added water or sugar. This unadulterated process results in a cider that’s as true to the fruit as possible. Fermented slowly over six months, the cider develops a rich, layered profile that reflects the terroir of Ayrshire. After fermentation, it’s racked for clarity, a step that ensures a clean finish while preserving the bold flavour unique to the region.

The final product is a cider with a 6% ABV, perfect for those who appreciate a stronger, full-bodied drink. Ayrshire Riviera Cider is vegan and gluten-free, inviting a wide range of cider enthusiasts to enjoy its Scottish heritage. This cider is ideal for anyone seeking an authentic, eco-friendly taste of Ayrshire, delivering each sip with the spirit and sweetness of locally grown apples, traditional methods, and coastal influence.
