From Orchard To Bottle, Loxtonia Cider Expresses The True Essence Of The Apple

Looking for something new and locally made to satisfy your cider craving? A farm in Ceres makes a really rad collection of ciders made with the finest varieties of hand-picked apples. Named after the farmland where the orchards are planted, Loxtonia Cider is made with 100% freshly pressed and naturally fermented apples.

The Whitfield family started making cider on the fruit farm in 2013. For them, the concept of ‘orchard to bottle’ is paramount in capturing the quality and integrity of the apple throughout the cider making process. It’s a journey that begins in the soil and ends with the cider. From nurturing every apple variety and hand-picking in the orchards, to pressing the fresh apples in small batches, natural fermentation and gentle filtration, nothing is left to chance. Sustainability also plays an integral role. By using the best Swiss-made pressing system run entirely on solar power, water usage is kept to a minimum and the apple pomace is composted back into the soil for the next harvest leaving zero waste.

The Loxtonia Cider Range

Crispy Apple Cider

The original Loxtonia Crispy Apple Cider is refreshingly fruity with a smooth, crisp finish. It’s a top contender at the annual International Cider Challenge and with just 58 calories per 340ml bottle – considerably less than most locally available ciders – this low-calorie, natural cider ticks all the right boxes.

Stone Fruit Apple Cider

Loxtonia Stone Fruit Apple Cider is a fruity, medium-sweet cider with bursts of bright, fresh peach, nectarine and apple. The balanced sweetness of this unique cider ends with a refreshing dry apple taste. A gold medallist at the Cape Town Festival of Beer Awards, this popular cider also struck gold for its looks at the World Cider Awards for Best Label Design.

Pale Amber Apple Cider

One of the more intriguing ciders in the range is the beer-styled Loxtonia Pale Amber Apple Cider. This well-rounded cider has nuances of caramel that meld into a smooth apple finish. This is a cider that even beer lovers will enjoy!

All Loxtonia ciders have a 5% alcohol content and are gluten-free, vegan-friendly and free of preservatives and artificial additives. You can grab a pack of four Loxtonia Ciders at leading retailers or buy them directly from the tasting room in Ceres or the online shop.
