Rosie's Triple D Cider made by cider maker Steve Hughes in Llandegla near Wrexham. Dafarn Dywyrch Llandegla where Steve's ciders are made is situated at 1000 feet above sea level and was an inn used by drovers till the late 1800s.

In 2004 Steve began planting a cider orchard and they now grow 44 different varieties of apple. This cider is produced from 100% scratted and pressed apples and Rosie the Jack Russell checks the orchard every day! Steve won CAMRA Bottle Cider Champion 2006 with Rosie's Triple D which has also won 3rd as Dry Cider at the Royal Bath & West 2007.

Steve is also partially responsible for Rosie's Blue Bell Cider, which is made in conjuction with (and consumed by) the staff and locals at the Blue Bell Inn in Halkyn - an independent, family run, award-winning freehouse who were acclaimed as Regional Cider Pub of the Year 2007. Steve brings his vintage tractor, scratter and press to the Blue Bell Inn to make Rosie's Blue Bell Cider.
