What to Expect
Porter’s Perfection is a traditional English cider apple originating in Somerset, prized for its combination of high acidity and substantial tannin. Classified as a bittersharp, it provides two of the most important elements in traditional cider production: acidity for freshness and structure, and tannins for body, texture, and complexity. The variety is also distinctive for its tendency to produce clusters of small, often fused apples. Although commonly used in blends, Porter’s Perfection has the acidity and tannic structure to make a compelling single-varietal cider.
Oregon’s Willamette Valley offers a relatively cool growing season, with warm, dry summers and cooler autumn temperatures that can support gradual fruit ripening. The region also has a long history of apple cultivation, making it a natural place to grow traditional European cider varieties. For cider makers seeking structure, acidity, and a distinctly traditional style, Willamette Valley–grown Porter’s Perfection is an exciting option.
Cider apples have elevated levels levels of tannin, acid, and sugar compared to grocery store apples and juice. So just like wine made from grocery store grapes is mediocre, cider made from grocery store apples or Motts juice is just not very good.
