Description
Blakeney Red, Brandy & Winnals Longdon 2022. A mid-season blend of beautiful perry pears, harvested from a single orchard of young trees planted in 2000 on gently sloping, south facing land at Frogmore, Pontshill in Herefordshire. Maker James Marsden presses his fruit by hand on an old Forest of Dean stone press, while practicing an environmentally astute approach to his orchards, & a minimal intervention approach to his making.
Light golden colour, delicate, floral, clean notes of gooseberry & citrus to nose & palate with some residual sweetness & slight acidity to finish. Fermented with wild yeasts & finished in bottle. Bottle conditioned sparkling Herefordshire perry. Contains sulphites. 750ml. 7%
