Cabalva single estate perry, a traditional celebration drink.

Perry is pear cider's older, quieter cousin - an alcoholic drink made not from cooking or eating pears, but from a handful of small, sharp, often unglamorous perry pear varieties. It's been made in the orchards of the Welsh Marches - Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, and the border counties - for hundreds of years, quietly, without much fuss, by people who simply liked drinking it.
