ESKIMO EYES is a reflection of the sheer beauty, complexity and character that can surprise and enchant us all.
It is an exquisite and sublime perry with zingy citrus twist of freshness running through a bed of rich tropical fruit, all wrapped in the warm embrace of oak infused with the character of west indian rum and french white wine.

Made from a cocktail of perry pear varietals: Gin, Brandy, Hellens Early, Red Longdon, Blakeney Red and Winnalls Longdon from orchards in Ocle Pychard and Preston Wynne in Herefordshire. The soils are fertile and red, almost too good for perry pears and derived from the underlying Old Red Sandstone. The trees have been in the ground for between 30 and 60 years and are well established high stem, standard trees, grafted and budded on pyrus communis rootstocks.

The 2024 growing season was poor. Pollination weather was challenging, coupled with a very wet end of harvest and generally inadequate (not alternating) sun and rain through the growing season in between.
However, as the juice is keeved, the original sugar level is not so important, as some unfermented sugars will be retained to enhance the fruitiness in the finished perry and high alcohols are less important than good fruit character and fullness of flavour.

Spontaneously fermented by the wild yeasts living in our buildings, on our equipment and in and on the pears.
The perry was then matured and finished in french oak white wine barrels from France and American oak rum barrels from Barbados and Jamaica.

Lightly chill and enjoy with that friend or friends who make the world a better place.
