About
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 at ChrisO’s. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The nose is juicy, apple concentrate, orange, apricot and sherbet. The taste is bitter, drying, sweet apple, pear skin, leather, mild astringency and wood with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Turns out hoppy cider can work rather well. Nice stuff.

Bottle from Three Counties Cider (Once Upon a Tree) shop in Ledbury, Herefordshire, courtesy of Loz, Saturday 14th March consumed at home Sunday 22nd March 2015 This appears to be the next and newer (latest harvest probably) its a slightly weaker version of At The Hop Cider and it’s a cracker. The apple is tangled up with the hops on the nose, the hops taking away some of that real zap you sometimes get from cider, the nose has a rather perfumey edge, a little bath scented floralness. Wonderfully bittersweet, juicy but also a bit drier. Just had this with one of Loz’s homemade Creme Brulee yum...great. I think that the hops do add, they are more back seat but is the way it should be. A lovely cider. A8 A5 T7 P4 Ov15 3.9
