Description
Real cider and perry from the county of Herefordshire in England.
Oliver's make a selection of fine Herefordshire ciders and perries with an emphasis on "balance" and "character" coupled with "drinkability".
Based around the spontaneous ferment of selected varieties of cider apple and perry pear from fruit grown in Herefordshire and the surrounding 3 Counties orchards.
Nominally referred to as "minimal intervention", we strive to "take what the fruit gives", respecting the great heritage and traditions of the past but with an eye to innovating for the future. What that really means is we mill and press great fruit, expose the juice to marauding and hungry wild yeasts and then for our part blend and bottle the resulting ferments.

(thanks for sharing!) Sampled 330 ml. bottle @ The Beavertown Extravaganza 2017. Day 2. Clear golden. Nose is fruity ripe fruit, low funk, mellow fine UK funk. Taste is dry mellow, fruity, faint oak, fine mellow funk running through it, bit dry, delicate funk. Very neat, starting to appreciate stuff like this more.

Bottle. Seems like June, 2015 bottling but not completely sure. Big, juicy pear nose, caramel and butter, like a pie. Awesome. Honey and rhubarb in there too. Somewhat sweet, very fruity and fascinating pear flavors. Medium tannins, light to medium sharpness. Semi-dry and fruity with a peppery, tannic, bittering finish and citrus notes. Pale golden orange with a slight haze and lace. Very soft carbonation. Awesome. Can't believe the ratings here are so low. A truly great perry.
