Medium Sweet Sparkling Fine Perry
The second of 3 special keeved perries from 2023, this is another mid season harvest blend. Varieties Blakeney Red, Red Longdon, Red Pear, Gin, Oldfield, Butt and various unknown heritage varietals.
A slow and delicate fermentation ensued which has come to a natural stop leaving a juicy sweet acid driven perry, packed full of fresh florals and zings of citrus across the nose and palette. All at an astonishingly low alcohol level. Bright, lightly gold tinged liquid with very strong citrus mainly gooseberry and rhubarb on the nose. Full mouthfeel with viscous honeyed sweetness and strong citrus flavour of rhubarb and gooseberry with hints of elderflower, melon and lychee but all with bracing acidity to match the sweetness and a strong structure through the tannins. Abv 1.9%.
