Barossa Cider Co win big at the 2021 Cider Australia Awards

We are thrilled to announce Barossa Cider Co’s Squashed Cloudy Cider was awarded ‘Best in Show’, ‘Best Australian Cider or Perry’ and ‘Best Specialty Cider or Perry’ in the New World Medium Sweet Class at the 2021 Australian Cider awards, held last night, February 2nd 2022. Hosted by Cider Australia, the show is in its tenth year, and celebrates excellence in the Australian cider category that is rapidly growing.

“As a family owned business, we are really proud for this national recognition, making the past 8 years of hard work worthwhile. It’s an exciting time for the industry, our brand and the innovation pipeline for the category we have in the works” said Oscar Bowen, Co- Owner and Director.

“Our aim when we started Barossa Cider Co business was to produce the best possible easy drinking cider that would appeal to a broad demographic using only 100% real Australian Apples and Pears”, said Oscar Bowen.

Barossa Cider Co was established in the Barossa Valley in 2014, after an idea around the dinner table that lead to Oscar and Hugo Bowen travelling around Europe and the UK to conduct some market research into the category. It was there where they decided on a production style inspired by best in class cider making techniques combined with family wine-making experience. Hand crafted in the Barossa Valley using 100% hand-picked fresh Australian apples and pears, the family owned Barossa Cider Company produces an authentic tank fermented Squashed Cider using luxe Champagne yeast. The Result? The finest multi-award-winning, totally natural ciders that are full-bodied, long, lean and crisp.
