LOBO is the product of Michael Stafford and Warwick Billings, Michael’s family has been growing apples for generations and Warwick, the cider maker behind this exquisite range, is originally from Somerset, the cider capital of the UK. He has been involved in making cider since he was 8 and once made a cider that was regarded as the finest in England at the time.

THE PROCESS?
"We don't filter out the apple. This cider is made from crushed apples that are allowed to settle briefly and then begin to ferment. After a period we add some cultured yeast and then continue the long cool fermentation. At the right moment the fermentation is arrested capturing the full length and depth of flavour that characterises LOBO and the cloudy wholesome cider is then put into bottles. A natural apple and yeast sediment is present in the bottle."
LOBO MEANS WOLF
LOBO means wolf in Spanish and Portuguese and is also a rare variety of apple - this is the reason behind the quirky wolf illustrations on all our labels. Each label has been designed by a different artist and the wolf embodies the characteristics of the drink itself.
