Bushel + Peck Smooth + Subtle Perry

Smooth + Subtle is delicate and fruity, with the natural underlying sweetness of pears and a refreshing acidic twang. It is made from the fresh juice of a blend of traditional perry pears, gathered by hand from gardens and traditional unsprayed orchards in Gloucestershire.

Early season perry pears come from an orchard in Great Washbourne that Bushel + Peck helped to restore. Further fruit comes from Moreton Valence, Westbury-on-Severn, Arlingham, Winchcombe and Ashleworth.

Chris and Kayleigh tasted this cider at Explorers HQ in June 2020. We found it to be pleasant, fairly dry perry, with some astringency from the tanins giving the perry body and a slight residual sweetness. It should be poured carefully as there is a small amount of sediment in the bottle.

Bushel + Peck believe strongly in caring for the environment, and among other initiatives support the Bumblebee Conservation Trust.

Varieties in this batch include Judge Amphlett, Moorcroft (aka Stinking Bishop), Butt and Blakeney Red.
