The newest Cidery to hit the SA market, has quickly become a favourite amongst cider lovers nationwide which has led the brand to further expand their range, launching the African Sundowner Baobab Flavoured Apple Cider, in March 2019.
A scatterling of Africa, the African Sundowner Baobab Flavoured Apple Cider brings together the unlikely pair of Baobab and unquestionably the Sundowner apple, marrying them perfectly together and breaking all barriers when it comes to South African Cider and Sunsets.
The newly launched cider upholds their key philosophy “Orchard to Bottle” as they continue to produce a high quality cider free of any preservatives or artificial additives, made from hand-picked apples which are freshly pressed and naturally fermented. Founder of Loxtonia Cider, Larry Whitfield explains, ‘We believe that everything you need to create the perfect cider can be found in the natural nutrients delivered by our soil, water and the Ceres Valley sunshine.’
Inspiration for the African Sundowner Baobab Flavoured Apple Cider was born from Larry’s passion to create a quintessential African cider. Larry adds, ‘Nothing says ‘Africa’ more than Baobab trees and Sundowners!’
Known as the “tree of life”, baobab fruits boast unparalleled nutritional value as it is naturally bursting with antioxidants, electrolytes and essential minerals. The longevity of the plant living up to 4 000 years old – truly making it one of a kind African superfood!
The newest edition is made primarily from sundowner apples and extracts from the fruit of the Baobab tree. It presents a slight tart flavour that blends perfectly with the sweetness of the sundowner apple. With fresh apple aromas and tropical fruit flavours, it pours a beautiful clear pale copper colour that looks mouth-watering when poured into a tall glass filled with ice.
Loxtonia Cider’s marketing manager, Ali Whitfield adds, ‘The goal is to be innovative and to create ciders that have not been done in the South African market before, while remaining true to our roots and creating delicious tasting cider.’
Loxtonia’s African Sundowner Baobab Flavoured Apple Cider will retail at a recommended selling price of R22.00 – R25.00 per 340ml bottle and is available for immediate purchase on www.loxtonia.co.za.
