Business Description
"There’s no compromise in our craft: only an enduring love of producing the very best drinks. Temptation Bottled since 1975.
Apples have grown in our Devon orchards for over 1,000 years. We source directly from growers we trust, selecting ingredients according to the countries and climates where they thrive to ensure truly sumptuous taste profiles. Each small batch is crafted on our farm using bespoke techniques, with minimal processing and no artificial additives.
In short, it’s obsession that ensures only the best goes into the bottle, every time.
Gabriel David, founder of Luscombe:
‘Some people say that I’m rather ‘fastidious’, almost neurotic, when it comes to the quality of our drinks, ingredients and production techniques and I take that as a compliment. I took over the business from my father in 1997 and not being much of a drinker we started making Ginger Beer, Elderflower and Sicilian Lemonade.
Much of my time is spent working with our growers to establish when the fruit will be at its optimum so we can schedule deliveries and create our drinks at the perfect moment. A few days of sun or rain can make all the difference to the quality of the juice so it just isn’t possible to work to set dates each year. Having a calendar would make our lives simpler but we make drinks because we love them and that means never compromising on what goes in the bottle.
