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.

Bottle shared at the Watford tasting, many thanks to Teresa and Daniel, a hazed golden coloured pour with a fading loose white head. Aroma is really funky, cheesey, farmyard, blue cheese. Flavour is composed of manure, blue cheese, funky tangy apple, salty blue cheese. Palate is tangy, highish carbonation. Really funky and interesting.

Bottle shared in Watford - many thanks to Theresa! Pours clear orange-gold with a few bubbles about. Thereโ€™s some manure in the nose, semi-ripe apples. Light sweet flavour with more slight manure/poopy notes, a little cheese, juicy apples. Medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. Finishes with further cheesy notes, mozzarella and blue, a bit more poop, more ripening apples. Well, this is funky stuff.

Bottle 75 cl. Very hard to tell which version this is. Bottle has no mention of Medium or Dry but itโ€™s 5.4%. Pours a cloudy, very pale greenish with loads of floating impurities. Fizzy, dissipating white head. Green apple aroma, some leathery Brett. Light body, not overly dry. Has both an initial sweetness and a slight tartness. Solid carbonation. Pleasant pearnotes and a dry finish. Farmhouse character, but not in an extreme way. 080616
