Brandies
Fruit brandies are distilled directly from crushed or shredded and fermented fruit. The alcohol derives entirely from sugar substances contained in the fruit which is converted during the alcoholic fermentation by specially selected strains of ‘aromatic’ yeasts. Before the yeasts have completely finished their work the fruit ‘musts’ or mashes are transferred into stills which have been individually adapted to our distillery’s requirements. The fruit brandies are the result of a slow and painstaking distillation process. Certain fruit varieties are carefully pressed to obtain juice which is then fermented to yield extremely delicate and mellow fruit brandies. They are often subsequently aged in wooden casks to become round, golden yellow in colour with an exquisite aroma of vanilla.
