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.

Bladder bag box at the 34th Ealing Beer Festival 2025, day one, 09/07/2025.
Pale lightly hazed yellow lemon squash kind of a looker.
Nose is grass, funk, sharp apple, straw.
Taste comprises tangy apples, orchard floor, herb, straw.
Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, drying close.
Not bad but not up to the usual Oliver's standards.

75cl bottle from Appellation Wines.
Appearance - hazy golden yellow. Very gently carbonation despite a good pop on opening.
Nose - apple, apple skin, hay and a touch of wood.
Taste - juicier apple this time, still skin and wood in there too!
Palate - light bodied, tangy, bitter and good acidity.
Overall - lovely gear!

Bottle. Clear pale gold. No head bar a few bubbles. Nose has like an orange wine character. Which makes sense. Funk. Oak. Semi sweet red wine. Stinky tannic apple. Taste is dry tannic with some stewed apple sweetness. Not entirely still, which is fine by me. Good depth. Tannins and oak to finish. It’s class no doubt but I like my bevs fizzy.
