What is the Authentic Cider Trustmark?
The Authentic Cider Trustmark’s three core pillars are traceability, authenticity and integrity. Ciders trace their apples back to a specific orchard region. Cidermakers embrace honest labelling and have direct onsite control and involvement in operations, and they produce cider with 100% fresh pressed apple juice and wine-like fermentation.
To meet the Authentic Cider Trustmark criteria, cidermakers must be independent. Their end-to-end onsite processes guarantee fulltraceability and quality control. This includes pressing, production and packaging.
Bulwark ciders are proudly made from 100% freshly pressed apple juice, slowly fermented and bottled onsite.

Muwin Estate Wines
Why fruit wines?
Our fruit wines and sparkling fruitsecco are a great choice for wine enthusiasts and health-conscious consumers alike.
To start, fruit wines and fruitsecco are delicious. They offer a unique and refreshing alternative to traditional grape-based wines, with a wide range of flavours and aromas that are specific to each type of fruit used. From the crisp and refreshing taste of Apple Honey wine to the sweet and tangy flavour of Cranberry wine, there is a fruit wine to suit every palate.
Fruit wines are also a healthy alternative to traditional wine. Unlike grape-based wines, which are high in tannins and histamines, fruit wines are low in these compounds, making them a good choice for people who suffer from these sensitivities. Fruit wines also tend to be lower in alcohol content than grape-based wines, making them a great option for those who want to enjoy a glass of wine without the risk of overindulging.
Where does the fruit come from?
Muwin Estate Wines are committed to using only 100% pure juice extracted from locally grown fruits and berries. This dedication to quality and authenticity ensures every bottle of Muwin Estate fruit wine and fruitsecco is bursting with fresh, natural flavours and aromas.
Can I visit the winery?
Our winery is not open to the public for tastings or tours at this time.
