Dunham Press

Dunham Press Blakeney Red Perry presents a vibrant sensory profile centered on the delicate character of the Blakeney Red pear variety. The aroma is highly expressive, led by ripe orchard fruit and white floral blossoms, with subtle notes of elderflower and honey. On the palate, it delivers a refreshing balance of natural pear sweetness and a crisp, light acidity. The moderate tannins inherent to the Blakeney Red variety provide a structured mouthfeel and a slightly grippy, clean finish. At 6.8% ABV, there is a gentle, well-integrated warmth that complements the fruit-forward nature of this Traditional Perry, making it exceptionally easy-drinking yet complex.

Appearance. Brilliant clarity with a pale straw to light gold color. If carbonated, it features a quick-dissipating rim of white bubbles; otherwise, it remains still with no head or lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity of fresh pear skin and juice. Distinctive floral esters reminiscent of jasmine or pear blossoms, accompanied by a faint hint of earthy fruit musk and honey. No hop or malt character.

Taste. Initial impression of juicy pear and light honey sweetness. Mid-palate introduces a soft tartness and subtle tannins. The finish is clean and refreshing with a lingering delicate pear flavor and a dry-leaning, crisp aftertaste. No hop bitterness or malt flavors.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly syrupy texture that is cut by moderate carbonation. Low levels of tannin provide a slight but pleasant astringency. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth.
