Ice Perry 2023
Ice wine has long been highly prized in the world of grape wines, yielding intensely aromatic, unctuous and sweet wines, with great cellaring potential.
A similar process can be applied to perry pears: freezing and then carefully thawing the juice, catching only the most concentrated initial 25%. The sugar level is so high that a lot of residual sugar is left after fermentation. Luckily the fruity flavors and acidity are similarly magnified, providing a perfect counterpoint to the rich sweetness.
Perry itself is an uncommon product, due to the sparsity of mature perry pear trees and the challenges of crafting it. Ice perry is truly the unicorn of the cider and perry world – exceedingly rare, but unforgettable once experienced.
