Still Dry Fine Perry
James and Susanna at Little Pomona have been at the forefront of making the most innovative ciders & perries in the country, blurry the ancient lines, experimenting and creating possible world firsts. This bottle however is of a more simpler nature but a very first for Little Pomona and a long held ambition of theirs.
As ever simple techniques and the magic of time have made this. Beautiful fruit ‒ Long Bois & Antricotin the varieties from Throne Farm in Weobley - wild fermentation and 9 months in second and third use oak barrels, before bottling.
Visually reminiscent of northern Italian white wines, this perry is pale, crystalline clear, and its pretty aromas of sweet meadow flowers, incense perfume and freshly cut pear. Beautiful patterns of barrel notes, candied lemon, fresh fruit. Serve cold and as an aperitif before settling in to a meal. Abv 6.7%
