Oliver's Out Of The Barrel Rooms Blakeney Red Perry
A barrel of Blakeney Red Perry made from perry pears, collected from the wonderful old orchards belonging to Ann and Andy Shayle in Ashleworth, Gloucestershire. This was the 15th pressing of 2013 and was pumped directly into a rum barrel which was originally from the Caribbean (but on its 3rd use by us) and that is where the perry has stayed for 7 years. It has not been topped up and so the angel’s share was significant.The resulting perry is wine like, still and clear with residual sweetness (which will be sorbitol) but right on the verge of VA coming on too strong along with gooseberry, rhubarb and melon fruit. An extraordinary testament to the character of the fruit (from big, old trees). The perfect drink pairing for spaghetti carbonara.

ABOUT THIS BREWERY
Oliver's goal is to make a distinguished selection of fine Herefordshire and Three Counties ciders and perries and to relish doing it and do it profitably. The cider and perry is fermented by wild yeasts in small batches, using fresh pressed (mostly hand picked and unsprayed) fruit with minimal intervention. They strive to “take what the fruit gives”, respecting the great heritage and traditions of the past but with an eye to innovating for the future. Oliver’s aim to give a unique personal service, valuing the health, safety and well being of our customers, consumers, employees, the earth’s natural resources and the environment.
