Dunkertons Cider and Perry

Dunkertons can be found approximately one mile outside the ancient parish of Pembridge, a quintessential English village.
In keeping the tradition alive a large number of perry pear trees were planted in 2005. Twelve different varieties, Brandy, Yellow Huffcap, Judge Amphlett, Green House, Helens Early, Gin, Moorcroft, Greggs Pitt, Butt, Winnals Longdon and Hendre.
The cider and perry is organic, Dunkertons having held 'Soil Association Standard' since 1988. Sophisticated farmhouse cider!
PERRY
Possible the only organic perry in the UK? Smooth, delicate, slightly dry to the palate pear taste, with a hint of lightness.
PREMIUM
Smooth, refreshing at first, leaving a dry (with a hint of sweetness) appley taste on the back of the throat.
BLACKFOX
Medium dry with a delicate kick. Watch out for shadows, there lies the 'Black Fox'. Dry smooth with a hint of sharpness. Lovely aftertaste, which stays on the back of the throat for ages.

Norbury's Perry

Nestling under the brow of the Malvern Hills, just North of Malvern, lies a small village - Leigh Sinton. On the outskirts, heading towards Hereford, can be found Norbury's farm, home to a fantastic perry.

A number of years ago while out selling cider, I called at Norbury's where they also produce 'BLACK BULL' cider. The name 'BLACK BULL' comes from the family name 'NORBURY' deriving from the French words noir (black) and boeuf (bull). The family crest has a black bull as the heraldic device.

While talking to Eddie, chief cider/perry maker at Norbury's he suggested I should sample some perry. Now this wasn't out of a bottle, nor out of the main vat which is used to fill cannisters with draught. No this was a sample taken from an unfiltered vat, a number of years old!

Well - the taste, dry, smooth, but with a flavour of pears that stayed on the back of my throat for ages - awesome.

I'd never experienced a taste like it before, but it certainly started my love affair with perry, especially Norbury's perry.
