Early 2020 - Case of 6

A still, 50/50 blend of pears and apples, organically grown in our orchard. Wild yeasts, ambient temperatures, no fining, filtration or additions. Sulphite free. 
 
This blend contains 21 varieties; the pears from very old perry trees plus a showing of Conference, the apples mostly cookers. All fruit is from the first harvest of the season. As it doesn’t typically store well, it is sweated for a week before pressing. 
 
The pears are macerated for a day to soften the tannins, then blended and fermented together, until dry, which takes around seven months. 
 
Bottled just before the end of fermentation and aged in bottle for a least six months.
