Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry - Thorn Perry
Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry's Thorn Perry is a single-varietal perry made 100% from Thorn pears, a centuries old, highly prized variety native to the U.K. This bottling is from fruit harvested in the 2020 season. Thorn pears fruit in the early season and gains a beautiful yellow appearance as it ripens. Thorn has an aroma of elderflower with some lime and lemon mixed in, delicately floral and inviting. The flavor is gently sharp with a mixture of pineapple, lemonade and gentle fruits. Each vintage produces a unique flavor, and the 2020 is defined by softness and lightness. Effortlessly drinkable, and a classic English perry.

About Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry: named after the small town in Herefordshire in which they're located, Ross-on-Wye has been growing apples & pears since their family moved to their farm in 1930. The county of Herefordshire is located about 3 hours west of London, is one of the most rural areas of the UK, and is home to most of the cider & perry fruit grown in England. The Johnson family makes a range of single-variety cider & perry products each year as well as several fine blends, mostly with fruit grown on one if their own orchards. The cidermaking process is pure and simple, using only whole juice, and allowing natural fermentation. A trip to their pub & cider barn at the Yew Tree Inn should be near the top of any cider enthusiast's bucket list, where one can taste from more than 60 small batch cider offerings between their single-varietals, blends, and multiple vintages of cider & perry.
