Wilding Cider Keeved Claret 2023, Somerset, England
Wilding Cider Keeved Claret 2023 is a rare, single-variety fine perry made from Claret, a small, russeted late-season pear prized for its natural tannins. Traditionally keeved to retain its luscious natural sweetness, it was fermented in old oak casks and briefly matured in steel, resulting in an elegant, richly textured perry with remarkable depth and character.
Pale golden in colour with a gentle sparkle, the nose is immediately enticing, offering aromas of ripe and poached pear, dried fruit, pear blossom and a touch of honey. There is an appealing richness to the fruit, balanced by the distinctive earthy and gently spiced character imparted by the oak maturation.
