Barossa Cider Co is Oscar and Hugo Bowen, brothers-in-arms.
Born and bred in the mighty Barossa Valley, and growing up amongst the vines surrounding their family property, they say  it always seemed the logical thing to naturally follow in the footsteps of their family wine folk and do what’s always been done. 

But they realised that would be following, not leading, so they decided to do their own thing. They wanted to be pioneers… so, they created the best craft ciders possible and are now taking them to the world.

All of their ciders are made using traditional Champagne yeast so as to extract the optimum fruit flavour and intensity from the variety of apple and pear that they seek. This yeast creates small, constant and delicate bubbles, which lift and enhance the aromas of the product out of the glass and in doing so imparts a fresh-lively, delicate and persistent creamy mouthfeel.

The fermentations are temperature controlled and tasted daily to ensure that both the fruit flavours and product balance are retained at their optimum before their final preparation for filling to bottles or kegs.
