Porter's Perfection Scionwood

A Somerset Legend, Grown for Perfection

The name says it all. Porter's Perfection is a classic Somerset bittersharp apple with a reputation that precedes it in every serious cider conversation. Developed in England and cherished by craft cidermakers on both sides of the Atlantic, this variety delivers a juice of remarkable depth — rich, tannic, and beautifully balanced with just enough acidity to keep things lively.

At The Orchard Point Prim, Porter's Perfection is one of our most prized varieties. Its late-season harvest means the sugars have had time to fully develop, resulting in a juice that ferments into something truly special: full-bodied, complex, and unmistakably craft.

• Classification: Bittersharp
• Flavour profile: Ripe pear, honey, gentle tannin, and a long smooth finish
