Anglesey cider company ceases trading amid 'very sad' loss
But last week the company announced its immediate end, with a statement from Mrs Percival citing "a number of reasons" for the decision.
She said seasonal challenges and "unfair" lease conditions, which made it "impossible" to continue producing cider, as well as the couple's break-up, made the business "unviable".
The news came as a shock to cider enthusiasts, with the company's popular beverages even making an appearance on Channel 4 morning show Sunday Brunch.
In a statement on social media, she said: "Jaspels has sadly closed for a number of reasons.
"Firstly, unfair lease conditions. The estate went back on the initial agreement terms, and we were only offered a 12-month lease.
"This made a significant impact on the future planning of the business and impossible to make the cider on those terms. We could not possibly move the business again.
"That on top of seasonality challenges made it unviable in the end. A change of personal circumstances also meant we could not continue as myself and Ade separated due to stress.
"I left in November, and it finally closed mid-July. I would like to say that we loved every moment of Jaspels and will miss the barn and bar massively.
"We hope it will hold happy memories for you all over the nine years it was open in Amlwch and Aberffraw.
"It is very sad for the island and ourselves."

Mis-sold car loans - did it happen to me?
👉 Listen to Sky News Daily on your podcast app 👈 If you bought a car as far back as 2007 with a loan organised through your car dealership, you could be eligible for a payout. The regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority, is consulting on a compensation scheme - and it's thought up to 40% of motorists who entered personal contract purchase (PCP) or hire purchase agreements between 2007 and 2021 will be eligible for a payout. Niall Paterson talks to Sky's business correspondent Gurpreet Narwan about who might be eligible. He also speaks to Adrian Dally, director of motor finance at the Finance and Leasing Association, who argues the payout levels look too high at this stage.
