We are Bernadette and Peter Haselberger and we live in Austria in the western part of lower Austria. We use mainly pears but also apples from our orchards. Our region is the largest perry-pear region in Europe. Here grow over 200 different varieties of pears for perry but nobody outside of our region knows. We see this as a big treasure and we want to get out of Austria to all over the world to drink our perries.
Traditionally Perry was made for several centuries in our region. Peters grandfather did the Perry production till 2015. Then Peter started his first batches. First we did the production as everybody did in our region. Now we develop more and more to do less and let the nature do the work :-) We try out and learn from every vintage to get away from industrial production back to the natural way. And there has been a new product- line - Almost pearfect, no added yeasts, no added sulphites, only nature- almost pearfect. :-)
- Size of their farm: 1 (ha)
- Total fruit trees for cider/perry: 100
