Blakeney Red & Yellow Huffcap Perry

Wilding were very lucky in 2020 to pick a stunning perry orchard in a neighbouring village, planted in 1911 as a Long Ashton trial orchard. The season was good with excellent sugar levels and fantastic aromas. In this blend they have paired the delicate and gentle Blakeney Red with Yellow Huffcap, a bittersharp with masses of aroma, acid, sugar and texture. The result is extremely drinkable with gentle natural bubbles, and refreshing acidity. Zippy acid and mouth-watering tannin in the mouth, aromas are of apple sour sweets, marzipan, blossom, sherbet. Wilding Cider are orchard cider makers and farmers, based in Chew Magna, North Somerset. They grow mostly Somerset cider apple varieties in traditional orchards, managing them in a careful organic way. ‚ÄãFruit is picked from the ground in the old way, let mature and fully ripen before pressing, and then fermented gently and slowly with wild yeasts, no sulphites and plenty of time.
