Raging Cider & Mead - Perry Feral (500 mL)
Raging Cider's Perry Feral is made with 100% wild foraged and seedling pears from around San Diego County area (primarily Julian, California). Interesting side note: while wild apples are scarce in the mountains and canyons between San Diego and Julian, pears seem to proliferate quite well in the surrounding mountain regions. This perry has a light residual sweetness (semi-dry) which is washed away grippy tannins and a rush of mouthwatering acidity. The high tannins persist, which gives the perry a perceived dryness on the finish. Floral and feral, this is one will appeal to tannic perry lovers!
Pairs great with soft and creamy cheeses - especially if they have a little funk.
2022 vintage (fruit harvest season, released in 2024).
About Raging Cider & Mead Company: Head cider maker Dave Carr makes a range of excellent cider, perry, mead, wine, and coferments in partnership with his family at their San Diego based cidery. Their ciders are all made with locally sourced fruit and honey from San Diego County - very rare amongst cideries in the area, most of which primarily use juice brought in from near and far. Dave and his family forage apples and pears and help manage several orchards throughout San Diego County. The many mountains and canyons just east of San Diego on the way to Julian, California are an abundant source of interesting fruit. The unique growing conditions of these mountains often result in higher levels of acid as well as higher sugar content (and thus higher alcohol). Dave uses natural fermentation methods (wild fermentation via native yeast) on the fruit for all of his ciders. Between the cidermaking style and the unique qualities of the fruit, these small batch ciders are all one of a kind.
