A Canadian take on French perry. Made with a blend of tannic, foraged pears, and culinary fruit grown in Niagara.
We started with tannic pears, foraged on a picturesque farm just north of our fermentory. We blended them with pears from Niagara, and apples from Thedford, Ontario. We let it wild ferment, but hold it cold in our tanks, arresting the fermentation to preserve the natural pear sugars.
What's it like?: Off dry, lightly sparkling with fine tannins, each sip takes us back to the French countryside.
Chanter la Poire feels like nutty Bosc skins, with a concentrated Asian pear note in the aroma. Bitter pear skins are balanced by the residual sweetness of the fruit. As it warms up, you'll get notes of quince, guava and magnolia flowers.
French perry is one of the most elusive things in the world of beverage, made in tiny quantities, and typically only sold locally. I'm so thrilled to have this available in Canada, as I think this style is one of the most special in the entire category of cider.
