My first ever crop of Perry pears, Winnal's Longdon. These were later milled with some other pears and are now fermenting to make our first ever 13 gallons of Perry. Perry is a drink with a long and distinguished history but hard to find today.

Over the last 6 years or so I have planted a dozen Perry trees in this neglected corner of the orchard of which this is the largest and first to crop. First Perry should be celebrated around Christmastime.
