theageing

The distilled spirit ages many years in inert containers to develop the flavours by not introducing other flavours from outside. Within this process the initial alcohol of distillation will stepwise be set down to a level of 43%vol..Finally it comes to bottlewithout any further treatment or filtration.

theprocess

In order to make the best Pinot Noir wine all batches of wine are only slightly pressed one time to get the red wine in full balance - not too tannic, not too soft. This induced automatically a good portion of remaining best wine in the structure of the berries (skin and pulp). Perfect for a distillation directly after harvest to catch the essence of the grape. Making the best for the wine even allows to make the best for this spirit.

The current lot is made from the 2007 Pinot pomace - without added sugar.
