Based in the Teme valley in Worcestershire, Oldfields have been producing cider for the local area for years but they stepped up to producing a commercial quantity in 2013.
A good online shop with the ever useful mixed case available.

Clean crisp cider Nose but not huge.
Oh that’s nice taste wise. Very clean flavour. Not that deep but there is enough fruit there to make it interesting. A little bit of tannin and a little bit of wood but balanced out with a little a bit of caramel.
Not a huge aftertaste and the tannin slightly comes more to the fro, but it does leave you refreshed and is very drinkable.
Needs a little bit more fruity flavour IMO, but it is very drinkable.

Light golden slightly hazy with a little bit of fizz
Big fresh apple juice nose with a touch of rhubarb strangely
Lovely deep buttery creamy flavour with a big sweet apple hit. Smooth is the word here, very little tannin, but a very slight tartness that really lifts it and makes it very very easy to drink. Long mellow aftertaste leaving a slight whisky aftertaste. The blend of Dabinett, Harry Masters and Tarkington Mill bittersweet is a good mix and works well.
I could drink that all night and I don’t think it would get dull. Also quite refreshing for a hot day and a nice friendly 4.8%

Fresh, slightly tart nose nose with a lot of fruit
Oh cracking flavour. Good amount and depth of fruit, and has a mix of skins and flesh – a very good blend here. Bit of zing off the tongue and a little bit of tannin.
Fairly short aftertaste but it is crisp and leaves you wanting more and more and more.
That is one that is so well balanced you could go back to over and over again. I’d seriously recommend it.
