Seidr Dai (Dave's Cider) was started in the autumn of 2000. The ciders are made only from Welsh fruit, hand-picked in traditional, unsprayed and unfertilised orchards, and wherever possible, Seidr Dai uses rare and endangered Welsh varieties of cider apple and perry pear. No water, sugar or yeast are added to the juice during fermentation.

Dave founded the Welsh Cider Society in June 2001 with the aims to save, identify and propagate these 'rare breeds', so that future generations of Welsh cidermakers can enjoy their superb flavours.

Seidr Dai has no permanent outlets, all his produce are available almost entirely via beer and cider festivals.

Amongst the ciders that Seidr Dai produce - depending upon the availability of fruit - are:

• Berllanderi Blend 2003 - Made from rare and unusual old cider apple varieties found at Berllanderi orchard
• Dai's Dry - A dry blended cider
• Gwehelog - An old favourite
• Kingston Black - A single varietal cider
• Major Tom & Major Tom II - A blend of Major & Tom Putt apples, Major Tom II has a certain extra fruitiness derived from the barrel
• Monmouthshire Heritage - A blend of three varieties of cider apple traditionally grown in Monmouthshire
• Raglan's Rarest - Apples from an old orchard near Raglan
• Yarlington Mill Blend - Yarlington Mill blended with Kingston Black

...and the list of perries is even longer!
