Blakeney Red Perry Pears from Whitehouse Orchard in Preston Wynne, Herefordshire. A decent crop with low sugars as befitted the 2023 harvest which shows with the low alcohol nature of a lot of the 2023 perries available. The Blakeney Red is a relatively common pear in perry making, in fact probably the most widely planted in this country as it is so reliable. Honey, elder and meadow flowers on the nose. Rich, autumn berries with some sloe and plum in the taste. Medium, sparkling perry. 750ml. 3.7%.

A pleasant surprise - the other half picked this up from the local bakery (she’s not a perry drinker normally, and she didn’t buy this for me). Sweet but not cloying, a little ripe pear, subtle candy floss, quite low funk, mellow acidity. Nip of apple sauce. Spritzy carb. Hugely drinkable.
