2018 Raison d’Être – 8.4% – £27+VAT 6x75cl (£4.50+VAT per bottle)

Raison d’Être is the quintessential expression of ourselves; the purest definition of what cidermaking means on our farm. This cider is bone dry, fermented in an oak cask and aged, patiently and quietly, before bottle conditioning. 2018 was an exceptional year for cidermaking. The hot summer meant that sugars, alcohol, and flavour intensity all skyrocketed. This is a special vintage. – In good stock!

2019 Dabinett/Bramley Oak Cask - 7.4% - Sparkling Collaboration Cider - £28.80+VAT per case (4.80+VAT per 75cl)

A joining of worlds. Ross on Wye’s Dabinett, fermented in Kentucky oak barrels, with its aromatic vanilla, gentle and complex tannins, melded with Nightingale’s Bramley, with bracing acidity and delicious green sourness. We tried a dozen blends, but this one tells a story of East and West, of Kentish and Herefordian cidermaking. – 90 cases as of 1/03/21

2019 Hagloe Crab & Bulmers Norman – 6.0% - £24+VAT/case (£4.00+VAT per bottle)

Hagloe Crab is an 18^th century variety from Gloucestershire, thought lost but rediscovered, this is our second vintage from young trees. Bulmers Norman is a widely grown bittersweet apple, which softens the Hagloe’s crisp acidity. A bright palate of fresh, fruit notes – peach and nectarine shine through, with charismatic tannin from the Norman on the finish. – 65 cases as of 1/03/21

2018 Michelin French Oak Cask Cider – 8.4% - £27+VAT/case (£4.50+VAT per bottle)

Michelin is a beautiful, simple and underappreciated bittersweet. This bottle was in a neutral fermenter before spending three months in second-fill barrels from Armagnac, in France. Matured since then, now it is a juicy, layered, but incredibly smooth and drinkable cider. It is rich and full-bodied and a delight to share, with a flavour only possible because of the glorious weather of summer 2018. – 5 cases as of 1/03/21

2019 HMJ + Dabinett + Reinette d’Obry – 7.4% - £24+VAT 6x75cl

The three varieties in this cider were pressed and fermented individually, matured and then blended for bottling by us on a cold December morning. It begins with HMJ, a full and grippy bittersweet apple. We add another: Dabinett, fruit-forward and flavoursome. To complete, Reinette d’Obry, a light, yellow, acidic variety that was fermented in oak. Together they produce a cider with balance, body and verve. There is bright juiciness that leads into a deliciously well-ordered symphony of tannins, fruit and oak cask. 125 cases as of 1/03/21

2019 Kingston Black S.V. AOC – 8.0% – £27+VAT 6x75cl

2019 Thorn S.V.P – 6.0% – £27+VAT 6x75cl

The first expression of 2019. This Thorn was bottled pét nat style six months from pressing. It is youthful, delightful, frolicking in the joy of fermentation. A gorgeous, honey-melon and elderflower aroma, with huge juicy, yellow acidity that’s capped off by the most stellar of pear tannins. Topped up with Foxwhelp at pressing to avoid headspace, but little impact on the identity of the Thorn. – 89 cases as of 1/03/21

2017+2018 Blakeney Red + Barland + Bartestree Squash – 6.7% – £24+VAT 6x75cl

This blend won First Prize for Dry Perry at the 2019 Big Apple Perry Trials in Putley, Herefordshire! Blakeney Red provides fruitiness and sweetness; Bartestree Squash brings body and softness, and Barland, a centuries-old variety, brings brilliant acidity and tannin. This is a perry full of life, flavour and joy. Enjoy every note. Bottle conditioned perry produces a harmless natural flaky sediment. – 45 cases as of 1/03/21

2017 Flakey Bark S.V.P – 6.8% – £24+VAT 6x75cl

Flakey Bark: a very different kind of Perry Pear. Dominated by a delicate but powerful astringency, this Perry is complemented by slight sweetness and the gentle process of bottle conditioning. The nose is unmistakably iconic, funky beyond compare. You have to smell it to believe it. – 7 cases as of 1/03/21

2018+2019 Blakeney Red S.V.P – 6.0% – £24+VAT 6x75cl

A rich, vibrant, fruity blend of Blakeney Red – the most widely grown Perry Pear. One third oak cask from 2018, with two thirds young and lively 2019 season. The resultant Perry is a complex mix of seasons that thrills the tastebuds with a full body and a mischievous sweetness. – 66 cases as of 1/03/21

2017 Flakey Bark S.V.P Batch Two – 6.7% – £27+VAT 6x75cl

Flakey Bark. Our most iconic pear. Just six mature trees exist of this variety on the planet. This perry has everything; slight natural sweetness, a burst of funk on the nose, a dash of lemon, a delicate drop of astringency. It is drinkable and memorable, and it is a true testament to the nature of perry. Varieties identified and planted centuries ago providing us with such gifts today. This perry has been disgorged. – 43 cases as of 1/03/21

2019 Red Pear S.V. – 6.7% – £27+VAT 6x75cl

A variety of such provenance that it was mentioned in John Evelyn’s Pomona of 1662. Grown in Herefordshire generation by generation ever since, it produces a perry of high quality. It has an iconic and inviting perry pear aroma, with a creamy, nutty sweetness that gives complexity and delicacy to the soft finishing tannins. One of our favourite pears. May contain a natural sediment from bottle conditioning. – 50 cases as of 1/03/21
