Wilding Oldfield Perry

£25.00

Oldfield 2022

5.9% ABV , 75cl


Oldfield is very well suited to Rural Method perry, indeed it seems reluctant to ferment naturally to become dry. The high acid and relatively high tannin work extremely well with the sweetness. In 2022 there was a reasonable sized crop of Oldfield, scattered around the pear orchard on twenty trees, meaning a lot of ground covered at the end of the season, and a lot needing to be carried out by hand. Lusciously sweet but with a delicate prickle of fizz, mouthwatering pear skin tannins and a delicious lemony acid which keep the whole fresh and tantalisingly delicious. Aromas of quince, whole lemons, pears. Drink with crab on toast, asparagus or clams. Oysters are also good.
