Ross On Wye - Raison d'Être 2023 (750ml, 06.75 ex vat a bottle, case of 6) single-bottle-346 Heady aroma of honeyed citrus

Heady aroma of honeyed citrus with gooseberry

and rather than luscious and sweet this is medium dry and more delicate on the tongue with a little more sparkle

Slight sourness plus an expected astringency & bitterness that keep this very moreish

this perry speaks eloquently of the glory of the vintage

Ross On Wye - Raison d'Être 2023 (750ml, 06.75 ex vat a bottle, case of 6) single-bottle-346 Heady aroma of honeyed citrusSparkling Dry Fine Cider This is the 2023 edition of Raison d'tre. 2023 was an unusual year in the cidery: a cool, rainy season produced Dabinett and Bisquet apples with higher acidity and gentle fruit character, but lower alcohol. The Raison they've been able to craft is a more accessible offering than the intensity of the 2022 vintage. The aroma of freshly milled apples lifts straight out of the glass, accentuated by some gentle vanilla character
