Bright apple fruit with the elegant sweetness and subtle delights of the pear. A tree-ripened, delicate, and refreshing taste of the orchard.

Serve chilled in the glass of your choice. Pairs well with pungent cheese, salmon, poultry, pork, and pie. Enjoy as an apéritif before a meal, with your plate for graceful palate cleansing, or after dinner as a dessert cocktail. A wonderful cider for any occasion.

Small-batch production year-round featuring cider fermented on the farm using 100% organic apple juice pressed from Washington apples. We ferment the apple juice, then sweeten it with organic pear for additional depth, sweetness, and flavor. Lightly carbonated. Contains no gluten ingredients.

Pear Brandy by Clear Creek

Pear Brandy by Clear Creek

This is classic eau de vie de poire. We use Williams (Bartlett) pears from our own orchards in Parkdale, Oregon. We crush and ferment the whole pear and then distill the pure fruit mash in our German-made pot stills. It takes about 20 pounds of pears to make one 750ml bottle of Pear Brandy.  This is still our best product and our best seller.  The pear nose is intense, the taste is strong, but pure, and the aftertaste is clean with a surprisingly strong hint of pear.  In warmer parts of the country and in the summer, it should be served chilled.

Port-Style Pear Wine by Fabbioli Cellars

Port-Style Pear Wine by Fabbioli Cellars

This wonderful wine blends Bosc, Bartlett, and Asian pears from the Asian pear tree in the vineyard. The juice is fermented and then part of it is distilled locally into a pear brandy, which in then reintroduced into the wine. The bold brandy aroma comes straight to the front of the nose, but takes a backseat to the flavor of pear.

This unexpected treat is flavorful and balanced and complements desserts, fruits, and cheese. Homer referred to pears as “the fruit of the Gods,” and with a taste of this fortified wine, you will see why.

The nose is heavy with smells of butterscotch, fresh pears and mild oak. The mouth has a kick, opening with punches of pear, spice and ginger then finishing with sweet, thick notes of vanilla.

This port-style dessert wine is ready to be enjoyed now but will also continue to develop with age and has a long cellaring capacity.
