Black Mountain Cider & Perry Duo

Unlike eating apple varieties, cider fruit when bitten can taste quite sweet but with a tannic dryness to the mouth. Rather than artificially sweetening the cider, Newton Court have perfected the difficult-to-master Normandy method, whereby it is bottled before the fermentation has finished, capturing the natural fruit sugars, allowing secondary fermentation to occur, resulting in a naturally sparkling, ‘keeved’ cider. Ideal for sharing over a cheeseboard, as one would with a bottle of wine.

Named after the Black Mountains that overlook Herefordshire, with its red soil and sprawling orchards, Perry pear trees bear their oft-forgotten fruit.  Unlike cider, perry does not contain as much tannin but is more astringent in taste. Rather than artificially sweetening, the technically-tricky Normandy method is used, whereby the perry is bottled before its fermentation has finished, capturing the natural fruit sugars, allowing secondary fermentation to occur, resulting in a naturally sparkling, ‘keeved’ perry. Ideal for sharing over a cheeseboard, as one would with a bottle of wine.
