Pet Nat Perry Cherry Hybrid
The brainchild of Martin Berkeley, of Pilton Cider, three producers – Martin, Little Pomona, and Simon Day, of Once Upon A Tree – have secretly been beavering away at this co-fermentation dream. Take some of the nation’s best cherries. Share with three different cider makers, giving them free rein to co-ferment with apples and/or pears.To create what they will with it. No conferring. So what happened?
Trying to capture the essence of the entire fruit, the cherries were sent whole into a stainless-steel tank to undergo carbonic maceration. Later they pressed the cherries with similar amount of perry pears, fermenting the juice spontaneously in barrel before bottling it as a pet nat.
Flavours are of all the fruit, everything from the stalk to the stone, like a sessionable eau de vie! It’s vibrant red so you think it’s all cherry, but the perry pears are there lending tannins, some unfermentable sugars and a fleshy, creaminess to the drink. 750ml. 6%.
