Empyrical Orchard & Cidery - Archive Perry (500 mL)
Empyrical Orchard & Cidery - Archive Perry (500 mL)
Empyrical's Archive Perry is a sparkling pear wine made in the traditional perry methods, using perry pears grown on their Snohomish orchard. Barrel aged, then further aged in bottle, this delightful perry is the result of a skillful hand over several seasons. Slightly sweet with delicate astringency.
This perry is dry to semi-dry, with bold (medium-plus to high tannins) and balancing acidity (medium to plus acid). Aromatics of pear, vanilla, wood, clove, and orange marmalade. On the palate, pear skin, clove, and orange peel up front followed by woody notes mid-palate along with a burst of tannins. As the tannins dissipate, there is a nice lingering fresh pear note on the finish. Lovely and complex.
Empyrical regularly wins coveted hardware for their perry products at annual cider competitions. Archive Perry was recently awarded a Best in Class Gold Medal for Traditional Perry at GLINTCAP 2024. Empyrical also won GLINTCAP's Micro Cidermaker of the Year for 2024, their 2nd year in a row being recognized the top small batch cider producer in the U.S. (Micro category = 5,000 gallons per year or less in total production).
