Thorn is a widely grown variety which is usually ready to harvest in early September. It has a fresh fruit dominated aroma with prominent elderflower tones. Light in colour with a crisp zesty acidity balanced by light tannins and an underlying sweetness.
A single variety perry made from pears harvested in mid September 2022. The wild yeast fermentation was steady and the perry was bottled in early 2023, where fermentation continued in bottle to produce a medium dry sparkling perry. Drink chilled.
Its relative scarcity, mainly confined to the traditional orchards of Herefordshire and Gloucestershire, makes it a rare taste experience – produced through méthode ancestrale and natural fermentation with wild yeasts.
Fermented only with the wild yeasts that live on the farm — we don't use pitched yeasts. We add no sulphites, although fermentation itself produces a modest amount. Some sediment is normal with our minimum intervention approach.
