Ross-on-Wye Cider & Perry - Butt Pear Perry
RESERVED FOR CLUB MEMBERS
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.
