Blackduck Cidery
Dry Perry
Finger Lakes, New York, USA
One of the best. Sidra-style perry made in NY, but not faddish at all. John Reynolds, one of my favorite iconoclastic wine/cider-makers, has been doing it this way for decades. Micro production. Loads of VA but flat out delicious; vibrant, textured, rich and soulful. Do yourself a favor and find some of this if you like natural wine. I’d argue this kills almost any high-VA natural wine. Why? There’s a historical precedent for the style, the flavor profile makes sense, it’s clean and well-made. Great stuff.

Terrible packaging but it doesn't take a space cadet to understand the complexity of this perry. Benchmark perry for my production this summer.

Let this warm up in your glass and keep off ice after opening. This gets more complex as the bottle comes up to room temperate. Lots of texture and character on this one. Very dry, but doesn't lack juiciness by any means.
