Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry's Butt Pear Perry is a single-varietal perry mae with Butt pears. Don't let the fruit's name fool you, this is extremely tasty!

Butt is a wonderful perry pear variety which ripens late in the season. Hard as a rock until just when it ripens, this vintage is actually a blend of Butt pears grown on two separate farms: Broome Farm in Herefordshire, from Ross-on-Wye's own orchards in England's West Country; and Carswell Farm, much further Southwest. The dual sourcing of fruit adds complexity to the single variety - showcasing the full range of Butt's characteristics of light acidity, a floral and elderflowery nose, with a gripping tannic finish. A magical, ancient pear to be treasured.

Tasting Notes: This perry drinks dry to slightly off-dry. High tannins, which are masked briefly by the sweetness and freshness of the pear, but come on quickly and linger long through the perry’s finish. Medium-to-plus acidity. Floral nose with slight smokiness. Flavor notes of fresh pear, honeysuckle, grassy, melon, and loads of bright citrus pith (lemon). A grippy tannic finish.

If you love tannins, you'll love this perry. Pair this perry with some cheese or any other rich or fatty food and witness the miracle that is food & cider parings. The little bit of fat in the mouth before you take another sip will soften the tannic expression significantly and open up a bright citrus lead fruitiness that will taste like an entirely different drink.

We're blessed to receive an approximately annual shipment of cider & perry from some of our favorite U.K. cider producers, including Ross-on-Wye. To increase access for all, we kindly ask that you limit your order to no more than a single bottle of each cider or perry from Ross-on-Wye to your order. These products are not eligible for discounts, except for our Cider Club member's discounts.

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.

Price

If you're looking for a full case of this or any other cider, please e-mail us and we'll setup a special order for you. We can usually get more of any cider we feature in our shop, and offer a discount on full-case special orders. Most bottled ciders come in 12-bottle cases, and canned ciders come in 24-can cases. Some rare or limited ciders may not be eligible for a case order discount, but we can still get you a full case.

We ship cider in boxes that safely hold 4-bottles, 6-bottles, or 12-bottles. Order in one of those quantities (or multiples of those quantities) to maximize your shipping value. For example, if you order 2-3 ciders, there will be room left in the box and it won't meaningfully change the shipping costs to fill the box.

We do have 1-bottle boxes, but in most all instances it will cost the same to ship you a full 4-bottle box.

Shipping to a business address will usually save you a few bucks!

Shipping cost estimates:

Pacific Northwest/West Coast: Shipping anywhere in the Pacific Northwest or West Coast is relatively inexpensive. Almost all box sizes cost $16-21 to ship. Same is true for most destinations in the Mountain Time Zone.
Central Standard Time Zone / Midwest: A 4-bottle or 6-bottle box will usually cost $18-24 to ship. A 12-bottle box will usually cost $22-30 to ship. Variance depends on weight and how far from a FedEx/UPS shipping center your delivery address is.
East Coast: A 4-bottle or 6-bottle box will usually cost $20-25 to ship. A 12-bottle box will usually cost $25-35 to ship. Variance depends on weight and how far from a FedEx/UPS shipping center your delivery address is.

Important Shipping Information:

We are able to ship cider to most, but not all, states.
Legally, someone 21+ must be present at the time of delivery to sign for the cider. We cannot ship to PO Boxes or AFO/FPO addresses.
Shipping prices vary by weight and destination. How far you are from Seattle (where we ship from), and remote vs. central your shipping destination is, and how heavy your box is will make shipping vary.
The bigger the box, the less you pay in shipping on a per-bottle basis. We ship in 1, 4, 6, and 12 bottle boxes - order in those quantities for the best shipping value. The size of the box matters as much as the weight, so don't leave empty slots in your bottle box! Shipping 1-2 bottles will cost the same as shipping 4-6 bottles in most cases. Shipping a 12-bottle box is usually only $3-5 more than shipping a 4-6 bottle box.
Re-delivery and returns are the responsibility of the customer.
We don't recommend shipping during periods of extreme weather. If your area has weather of concern, please contact us and we can hold your order.

We can usually accommodate rush requests for delivery or pickup. Please e-mail us at cider@pressthenpress.com or call/text us at (206)395-4008.

We offer home delivery of cider orders for customers in the Seattle area, including the east-side. Someone 21+ must be available to accept the delivery. We will be flexible in scheduling a delivery that works for you. Most deliveries are made within a few days of the order being placed.

Orders can be picked up for free at Makeda & Mingus, a coffee shop and community space in the Greenwood neighborhood. They are open everyday from 7AM-5PM. Orders are made available for pickup within 1-3 days.
