OUR CORE RANGE

LOBO Cloudy Apple Cider is a cider that embraces the full essence of the apple. We don’t filter out the apple, allowing you to experience the natural richness that comes from real, unfiltered fruit. Our process begins with crushed apples that are allowed to settle briefly before fermentation starts. We then introduce cultured yeast and continue with a long, cool fermentation. At just the right moment, we arrest the fermentation to preserve the full length and depth of flavour that’s become a hallmark of LOBO. The result is a cloudy, wholesome cider with a natural apple and yeast sediment in the bottle.
When pouring LOBO Cloudy Apple Cider, try it over ice and invert the whole bottle first for a fuller, richer taste. You can also gently roll the bottle or pour carefully, leaving the sediment behind—each method offers a different level of clarity and subtly alters the flavour. We encourage you to experiment and discover which approach you enjoy most.
You may notice that the bottle is a different colour to the picture on our website. At the time of writing we are changing from green to brown, as the green bottle is no longer being made in Australia. We could import some, but that’s not the right thing to do, we prefer to stay local, so we’re gradually changing to the bottle that we can still get.

LOBO Trad is our take on a more traditional cloudy cider, crafted from a blend of special cider apples and eating apples. With a darker hue than our regular cloudy apple cider, LOBO Trad offers a fuller, drier flavour profile that’s distinctly more robust.
Expect full apple flavours with delightful toffee apple notes, crisp acidity, and a clean finish. The cider is well-structured with a touch of tannin and a hint of bitterness—delivering complexity in the most enjoyable way.
True to LOBO’s style, Trad features a natural apple and yeast sediment. For a clearer pour, handle the bottle carefully. Alternatively, you can rouse the sediment by gently rolling or even shaking the bottle to change the flavour profile. Experiment to find your preferred taste experience.

LOBO Apple and Pear Cider is a vibrant and refreshing blend that captures the essence of both fruits. With a full flavour profile that’s slightly lighter and fruitier, this cider combines the crisp, robust character of apples with the subtle sweetness of 20% pear. The result is a deliciously balanced cider that showcases the best of both fruits, offering a delightful and refreshing drinking experience.
Free from preservatives and gluten, LOBO Apple and Pear Cider is perfect for those who appreciate a clean, natural taste with every sip.

REVIVING TRADITION, INSPIRING TASTE, FORGING A NEW PATH
LOBO Cider's story is one of humble beginnings and bold exploration, rooted in the rich apple-growing history of the Adelaide Hills, just 20km from Adelaide. Since 2007, we've embarked on a journey sparked by experimentation, crafting cider from leftover apples at Michael's orchard, which soon evolved into a quest for the perfect blend, settling on the naturally balanced flavour of mostly Pink Lady apples.
Inspired by South Australia's tradition of bottle-fermented beer and driven by a passion for authentic taste experiences, we embraced the ethos that cloudy cider holds a superior flavour to filtered. As our cider found enthusiastic appreciation and grew in popularity, we expanded our orchard to include cider apple varieties, grafting trees with names like Yarlington Mill and Kingston Black, sourced from Europe for their rich tannins and complex flavours, enriching our range with the depth and character of traditional cider-making.
With each bottle of LOBO, we aim not only to delight the palate but also to honour our heritage and inspire a community of cider enthusiasts, ushering in a new era of appreciation for the craft and tradition of cider-making.

Our Quince Liqueur Gin is a distinctive blend that captures the essence of ripe quinces, resulting in a liqueur with a rich mahogany hue and a deep, inviting aroma. The quince character shines through, complemented by the subtle yet unmistakable presence of botanicals that give it a refined “gin-ness.” The liqueur finishes on a pleasantly sweet note, making it as versatile as it is flavourful.
Whether you’re sipping it neat to appreciate its complexity, enjoying it over ice with soda water and a slice of lemon, or letting your creativity run wild with cocktails, our Quince Liqueur Gin is a true delight for the senses. We invite you to experiment and share your favourite ways to savour it.

Our Orchard Gin is a unique take on the classic gin profile, where we’ve swapped out the traditional citrus for the aromatic complexity of quince. Growing quinces in the apple-rich region of Lenswood, Adelaide Hills, felt like a natural choice, reflecting the character of our local landscape.
This gin is anchored by a pure juniper note—an essential foundation for any gin—enhanced by a carefully selected blend of botanicals, spices, and ethereal elements that create a multi-layered, enjoyable spirit. The result is a gin that’s versatile and well-balanced, whether you’re sipping it neat, mixing a classic G&T, or crafting a cocktail where the juniper shines through.
For a simple, yet delightful garnish, we recommend a slice of apple and a mint leaf. And if you’re feeling adventurous, our cidermaker’s favourite is a straightforward gimlet with fresh lime juice—clean, crisp, and refreshingly satisfying.
