A tropical fruit bomb, Winnal’s Longdon is a pear that originated just a dozen miles away from our farm around 1790, and is named for its first propagator, Mr Winnal! Although we only started working with this pear in 2022, it has rapidly become one of our very favourite varieties. The perry is zingy with big citrus flavours of kiwi and lime, immensely refreshing and one of our favourite new varieties. Crucially the variety appears to be resistant to fireblight, and so we highly encourage further planting of this heritage pear. 750ml. 5.2%

750ml bottle from Ross on Wye, for #rgpm. Pale yellow gold colour, short-lived white foam head and aroma of pear, citric hint. Taste is perry pear, tropical fruity, fleshy, tart citric, with some acidity and woody tannin. Medium bodied, light carbonation, drying light peary finish. Nicely drinkable.
