Empyrical Cider - Pyriform Perry (500 mL)

Empyrical Cider - Pyriform Perry (500 mL)
Empyrical Cider's Pyriform is a dual-varietal Perry, made from a blend of Schweizer Wasserbirne and Winnals Longdon perry pears.
The fruit from this harvest was very small, and consequently the impression of fresh, sharp, tannic pear skin dominates the flavor of this batch. Finished barely off-dry a la Methode Traditionelle, with fresh Comice pear juice.
Limited quantity available.

About Empyrical Cider: We simply cannot say enough good things about Empyrical Cider. Since their launch in 2022, every cider & perry they've released has been one of our favorite bottles in the shop. (Side note: we've also had the pleasure of trying countless bottles of experimental batches and bottles from their archives, all of which have been highly impressive). In a few short years they've won countless awards for their ciders - most notably being crowned the Best New Cidery at the Northwest Cider Cup (2023), and Cider Maker of the Year at GLINTCAP for three consecutive years and counting (micro-scale category, 2023-2025).
Empyrical Cider was started by Adam Wargacki and Elizabeth Lockhart - partners in business and in life. They planted their own pome fruit orchard on their family's property in Snohomish, Washington. Notably, more than 400 of their 1500+ fruit trees are traditional perry pear varieties. They craft their cider and perry blends with an immense amount of thought and careful attention to detail - and the results are always stunning. Each of their releases is a very limited, small batch offering, and not to be missed. Easily the best perry maker in the United States, and their ciders are every bit as good.
