Lobo

Just 20km from Adelaide, the Adelaide Hills has been the main apple growing region of South Australia since the 1800's.

Cidermaking began back then as well, and various cider companies have come and gone over time.

LOBO began back in 2007, they started with a few experiments to try and make some cider out of leftover apples at Michael's orchard.

Encouraged by the results, the experiments became trials, trying out different apple varieties to see which would make the best cider. Granny Smith were a bit tart, Fuji tended to be sweet and bland, Red Delicious was pretty good, but it turned out that a blend of mostly Pink Lady apples has a good flavour and natural balance.
