Davy and Janet Uprichard don’t live in Armagh but their ciders and juice have Orchard County roots. They get their apples from a variety of growers there. They’ve been blending and bottling at their purpose-built plant since 2009.

Davy is passionate about his product. He says in Somerset and Normandy there are nearly as many recipes for cider as there are apple orchards. He reckoned it was time to develop one in Lisburn. He’s developed more than one as it happens.

Tempted? Ciders are made by fermenting pure apple juice made from Armagh Bramley Apple and dessert apples, plus Tipperary cider apples. Then they are sweetened with more pure apple juice, so these craft ciders are 100% apple. There are 4 ciders in the range, Tempted Dry, Medium Dry, Sweet and Tempted Strawberry Cider. This Strawberry Cider is a blend….Tempted? Strawberry cider is a blend of cider, apple juice and strawberry wine, which Davy makes himself, making him one of a very few registered wine makers on the island of Ireland.

The company’s dj’s apple juice is a refreshing blend of Bramley and dessert apples. Try the Winter Spice variety too. All the ciders are available in 500ml bottles, Sweet in kegs, and the apple juice in 750ml and 250ml. Loving the Garden of Eden-esque packaging designed by their daughter and her husband. This family business makes the most of everyone’s talents.
