Think cider, but softer around the edges. This is a perry, which means it's made from pears instead of apples, and you can taste the difference in the first sip. Golden in the glass, gently sweet, with a soft fizz and that ripe-pear thing going on. It's the bottle you crack when you want something easy and a little classy without thinking too hard. Chill it, pour it, done.
Pour it and you get pear straight away, with a little floral lift and a faint whisper of honey behind it. The first sip is soft and juicy, leaning gently sweet rather than tart, with just enough fizz to keep it lively. There's a touch of warmth from the 7.4%, but it stays smooth and rounded from the oak ageing, so nothing bites. Finishes clean with the pear hanging around. Rounder and more elegant than apple cider, basically.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Westons have been pressing fruit in Much Marcle, Herefordshire, since 1880, and they're a little obsessed with their oak vats. Some of those vats are over 200 years old, and the oldest, nicknamed Squeak, holds more than 42,000 gallons. This perry gets slow-aged in that oak, which is where the smooth, rounded character comes from. England knows its pear drinks, and this is the family doing it the old-fashioned, patient way.
