Oliver's Cider
Cidery
in Hereford,
Herefordshire,
England 🏴
Associated Venue: Oliver's Perry and Cider House (Shop)
Established in 2011
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.

3/9/2024. Bottle shared by danlo, cheers Ed! Pours clear pale gold with a few bubbles. Aroma is baked pear, polythene, flowers, lavender, caramel, hint of honey. Sugary sweetness, light tartness, extremely dry. Moderate body, light carbonation. Astringent finish. Very interesting and oh so lip numbingly dry.
