Sidmouth's Four Elms Fruit Farm has won Taste of the West Gold awards for two of its ciders – Devon Roots and Devon Hills.

The farm at Harpford has been winning Gold and Silver awards for its apple juices for several years, but the ciders are a newer product range.

Director Mark Smedley said: "We are delighted to have scooped double gold at the TOTW awards! Especially as we only started making cider just three years ago!

"The Smedleys have grown apples here for over 50 years, and as well as producing multi-award winning apple juices, we now have another arrow to our bow by breaking into the cider market.

"We combine our extensive apple knowledge with our passion to produce full flavoured real Devonshire ciders. We only ever use apples grown here on the farm - this way we can control what goes into our ciders and ensure only the finest apples are pressed."

Taste of the West has just released the winning entries from the second round of this year's awards. In the first round, announced in June, Sidmouth Gin won two Golds and a Silver; its Christmas Cheer and Night Flyer gins took the Golds, and its Crab Apple Liqueur took the Silver.
