Cidery

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.

Bottle pour at London Cider House. Pours clear deep gold with no head. Musty wool, wood, and dry apple skins on the nose. Flavour is bone dry with tons of tannins, great woody barrel character. No carbonation and very dry on the palate. Not always a fan of still ciders, but this is great.
