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.

75cl bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - opens with a big pop. Frantically fizzy with a quickly disappearing head. Nose - sour and tangy apples, perhaps something resembling sour and fizzy confection. Taste - luscious bittersweet apple. Palate - light to medium bodied, frantically fizzy and as mentioned, bittersweet finish. Very refreshing and dry with high acid. Overall - really liked this, luscious!!
