A perfect bottle for food pairing, this is perry as we like it best- off dry and with a hint of fizz. It's our alternative to a fine white wine.

Food pairing suggestions: Light and fruity with very gentle acidity, this pairs beautifully with another local delicacy, the creamy unpasteurised goat’s cheese made by market gardeners 100% Hay. At best now to 2030.

The story behind the cider: Named after one of our favourite artists and in celebration of the beautiful borderlands surrounding the local, wonderful, and gregarious town of Hay-on-Wye this perry is made from an unidentified variety harvested from a little orchard, not far away on the other side of the valley.

Community spirit is strong in these hills which are replete with dreamers and awash with change makers. In spite of the woes of the world, this is a place that inspires belief that anything is possible. We reckon Grayson would be right at home here.

We are hugely proud to be the first UK cidery to publish our carbon foot printing data. Since 2021 each bottle produced has contained this information on the label and we are pleased to say that the carbon associated with each bottle is decreasing with each vintage as we continue to make changes in the cidery. We believe that sharing this data is essential for us all to start being able to make conscious and informed choices about what we consume and the effect those decisions will have on our planet.

750ml bottle from Artistraw for #rgpm. Slightly hazed yellow gold colour, white foam head that dissipates to a thin rim and aroma of perry pear, floral, fruit, citric, funk. Taste is tart, perry peary, zesty fleshy fruity, elderflower, citrus, woody, funky, with some acidity and tannin. Medium bodied, spritzy carbonation, drying peary acidic & tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.
