It's not a blend of apples and pears, it's a cider plain and simple. Actually it's a single variety cider made with pear apple, a variety rediscovered n=by James Evans and Mary Martin as a single tree growing in a derelict orchard near Golant and named because it looks like a pear. Imaginative. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time a single variety cider has been made with these apples. We will definitely be making more. It's bone dry and still with a lovely round, tannic middle, pairs very nicely with strong cheese. This is an absolute belter (if we may be so bold), grab it while you can. Other Cornish makers will be doing this soon we predict.

750ml bottle from Vagrant Cider. Orangey golden colour, some short-lived bubbles on top and aroma of apple, fleshy, fruit. Taste is tangy, apple, floral fruity, caramel, toffee with some tannins and mellow acidity. Medium bodied, low carbonation, drying finish. Nicely drinkable.
