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.

Bottle via Pressonline, imported by Anxo. Lots of milage just to get me my fix.
Lo-ball glass at home after a week in the fridge.
Took a nip on Friday & wasn't feeling it. Sealed it up & finally found time to settle down with the botte tonight, with a slow roast in the oven.
Clear, honey orange pour, slow & oily head that recedes a touch slower than soda.
Smell is round, like apple brandy. Bittersweet apple sauce & mushroom-y old wood. Some subtle florals as it warms, gentle kick of sour stonefruit; slight spice & pedestrian funk.
Taste is honey-laced bittersweets with an immense pithiness. Very macerated orange spice, slight cheeziness rather than full blown funk, obvious keeve sweetness, old wood, slick almost oily texture. Tiny prick of tartness before going full sweet again. A bit too sweet.
Definitely grew on me.
