A tropical fruit bomb, Winnal's Longdon is a pear that originated just a dozen miles away from our farm around 1790, and is named for its first propagator, Mr Winnal! Although we only started working with this pear in 2022, it has rapidly become one of our very favourite varieties. The perry is zingy with big citrus flavours of kiwi and lime, immensly refreshing and one of our favourite new varieties. Crucially, the variety appears to be resistant to fireblight, and so we highly encourage further planting of this heritage pear.
