Liberty Ciderworks - Porter's Perfection (750 mL)

Liberty Ciderworks - Porter's Perfection (750 mL)
Liberty Ciderworks' Porter's Perfection is a single-varietal cider made 100% from the Porter's Perfection apple. Discovered in Somerset UK, Porter’s Perfection are considered an excellent bittersharp varietal, despite their small size and lumpy appearance. Liberty sources their Porters from Bishop's Orchard in Garfield, WA.
2023 Vintage (fruit harvest season). Wild / naturally fermented using native yeast on the fruit. Barrel aged for six months after fermentation, then rested in bottle for a year+ before it's release in Spring 2025. Bottled still (uncarbonated).
Tasting Notes: Bittersweet apple aromatics. Dry and medium-plus tannins with a balancing, medium acidity. Oak, leather, pear, black tea, and ginger notes support and apple forward profile. A very light buttery quality to it gives it nice body for a still cider, wich is cut through by lingering tannins on the finish. Enjoy as a sipper, or pair with sharp Cheddar and Stilton cheese, roast duck, pork or rich casseroles.
Liberty's Reserve Series ciders are small, nano-batch labors of love that are usually exclusive to Liberty's own Cider Club, or to enjoy in their tasting room. We're fortunate to get our hands on a small number of bottles from some of these releases - thank you to Rick, Jamie, and Ben for letting us have a few!
About Liberty Ciderworks: Liberty is one of the absolute best cider makers in the Pacific Northwest - and America for that matter. Based in Spokane, Washington, they gather nearly all of their fruit from three tiny, family-run orchards in Eastern Washington that grow apple varieties with cider in mind. Soil and climate play major roles, as do the native yeasts they allow to ferment their ciders. Employing “natural wine” methods in all of their ferments, Liberty never filters their ciders and allows each orchard’s native yeast to work its magic. Their approach is inspired by global styles and traditions, but reflects their own apples, landscape, and culture. It’s a philosophy expressed in everything they produce, and it’s one we think you’ll really enjoy. Most of their ciders will be particularly appealing to fans of English style ciders.
