Tasting notes
Colorless and crystal clear. The fragrance is very strong and intense, it reminds one of wild fruit. There’s a bitter-sweet character as it’s got hints of truffle-like aromas which make this spirit very intriguing.
Distillation
As soon as the fermentation is finished, the distillation uses its discontinuous bain-marie still, a brand new concept which the owners themselves have worked on. At the end of the distillation process we obtain a high grade brandy (70° – 73 °), which is placed in special stainless steel tanks waiting for subsequent processing. The average yield in alcohol is around 4 – 5% which corresponds to 70 – 85 grams of sugar per kg of fruit.
