OLIVER'S ALMOST A PET NAT BUT STILL A JUICY PERRY

A blend of keeved perries fashioned from perry pears grown on old standard trees. Varietals include Blakeney Red, Red Longdon, Gin, Red Pear, Winnall's Longdon, Hendre Huffcap, and some Brandy, and Butt. Bottled with some fermentable pear sugars remaining to give gentle conditioning in the bottle. Citrus features heavily, both on the nose and in the taste, so a base of rhubarb, gooseberry, and a hint of ginger with nice melon and lime in the mid-range and some lychee and elderflower in the top end. The bubbles fill the mouth with a nice mousse and there is a touch of biscuit in the finish.
