There’s a saying “plant pears for your heirs”, which is why several years after grafting over to perry pears, we still have a limited crop. For our 2021 vintage, we have blended these tannin bombs with Taylor’s Gold pears and added a few Egremont Russet apples to bring a little acidity to the blend.
The result is a smooth, creamy perry with a modest natural sweetness.
