A single variety keeved perry in a very limited run of only 100 bottles. First made by Hecks in 2020 this bottling is from the 2022 season. Oldfield is a rare old traditional perry renowned for making high quality perry. The ancient method of keeving is a way to produce a naturally sweet Cider or Perry by causing the fermentation to stop early by starving the yeast of its nutrients. This creates a sweeter, lower alcohol product with a lovely fruity character.
The Hecks family have been making traditional farmhouse cider in Somerset for six generations, since 1841. In 1896, they started to sell their cider from the farm shop in Street, where they are still based. They make their ciders and perrys by blending juice from apples and pears all grown locally in the family’s orchards. To read more about Hecks and its heritage click here to see our blog.
