THE future looks promising for a Monmouth cider maker which has just won a prestigious Great Taste Golden Fork for Wales and been invited to be part of the Welsh Government Fine Food Wales Cluster.

Stephanie Culpin of Apple County Cider was delighted to win the award after a promising year that has seen the company recognised as one of the finest producers in the country.

“Our ambition to make outstanding products has been recognised with this national award and we will benefit hugely from the mentoring and nurturing the Fine Food Cluster will give us.

“We have seen the explosion of the craft beer market and now it’s time for cider. The Guild of Fine Food has recognised Apple County Cider as producing the finest cider in Wales and the UK.”
