Somewhere, it is spring.
The small Kingston Black apples are growing nicely at Beau Vista orchard now the blossom season is over. Even some early colour. We are having great weather for growth with warmth and enough rain. #apples #KingstonBlack #ciderNZ #cider

A few days in the life of some of our apples. These will come back to Le Manoir as apple brandy in 5 years time.
A big shout out to Capreolus distillery who we have worked with for a few years now.
I love seeing the outcome of so much work over the growing year.
