Non-alcoholic: Zeffer were the first cidermaker in New Zealand to nail a non-alcoholic cider when they introduced their Zeffer 0 a few years ago. This passionfruit variation on that original alcohol-free apple cider is an absolute belter, and one of the best zero alcohol beverages available in the country. The passionfruit pops from the glass but is underpinned by a clean and fresh apple cider with the judges enjoying the surprising heft to the mouthfeel. "Ripe passionfruit, hint of baked apple on the nose. Lots of flavour. Passionfruit carries through well. Cider character is present. Tart acidity and actually quite full in flavour for a non-alc."
