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.

750 ml bottle online from Fine Cider Cio. Pours light hazed pale yellow with a slim white cap. Aroma: smoke, peat, whisky barrel, apples. Taste: light sweet, firmly dry, low tannins, smoke, char, oaky, earthy. Medium body with light carbonation. First sip I wasn't sure, but the more I drank the more I enjoyed it

Bottle. Aroma of apple sweetness, oak, bit of vinegar. Deep reddish golden-amber with lace. Quite effervescent at first. Crisp, bitter flavor, touch of tartness and sweetness, funky, oaky edge. Perfect carbonation is light but persistent. Quite wonderful. Slight puckery feeling in the mouth lasts a long time.
