[1] It was originally brewed at Horam Manor near Heathfield, East Sussex, England by the Merrydown brewery.
The very first batch of Merrydown Apple Wine was fermented from 450 gallons of apple juice using a 300-year-old oak cider press borrowed from a local farmer and within a year the scale of production had outgrown Mr Ward's garage at his home in Rotherfield and the partners bought Horam Manor nine years later, with seven acres of land.

[7] All Merrydown is still made to the original recipe first developed by the founders back in 1946 and uses eating and culinary apples which gives it a unique appley taste.
All Merrydown cider is free from artificial flavourings and sweeteners and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans and is gluten-free.
