A classic Kiwi summer isn’t complete without a classic Kiwi drink and Old Mout BoysenCider is proving to be a hot choice this year.

Cider sales in New Zealand have grown dramatically in the past 12 months as more people look for a refreshing low alcohol alternative to wine. In fact, this summer has been dubbed “the Summer of Cider” with the drink’s market share predicted to quadruple over the next three to five years.

And leading the charge is Old Mout (pronounced “Moot”) BoysenCider, made from succulent Boysenberry Wine, which has won acclaim in prestigious fruit wine competitions both here and overseas.

In August Old Mout BoysenCider won gold at the Indy International Wine Competition held in the United States, while at the Fruit Winemakers Association’s National Awards a month later it won one of only two gold medals awarded in the entire competition.

This crisp drink with a natural blush is the perfect way to unwind during a long hot day or fun-filled night. It’s made from whole sun-ripened Nelson boysenberries and is best served ice cold with a platter of fruits, cheese and blue cheese in particular.

So make the most of the upcoming festive season with Old Mout BoysenCider – it’s summer in a bottle!

RRP for Old Mout’s gold medal winning BoysenCider is $15.99 (pack of 4x330ml) and $10.99 for 1.25L bottle. BoysenCider is available at supermarkets throughout the country.
