OLD BERKSHIRE PERRY  (2007 - 6.3% abv)

This is made from the fruit of two old pear trees of unknown type growing on opposite sides of the Kennet Valley. Both trees produced enormous crops in 2006, so the result was blended as OLD BERKSHIRE perry.

Most of this was been bottle-fermented in champagne bottles to produce a naturally sparkling drink, and the much-smaller 2007 pressing was treated in the same way. However, because we decided not to acquire either a Personal or Premises licence, this product will only be available at retail outlets. Please contact us for details.

We have now ceased the production of cider and will be concentrating entirely on making perry.

Unfortunately the pear crop in 2008 was practically non-existent, so we were unable to make any perry that year.

The following products are not covered by licencing regulations and can therefore be purchased from our premises.

CIDER VINEGAR
We have a limited amount of this product, which is made from cider which is allowed to acetify under controlled conditions. Ideal for making a vinaigrette, or as a health drink mixed with honey. Very popular with racehorse trainers and organic farmers for adding to the food and drinking water of their livestock.
