Description:
Commonly produced in Alsace, pear brandy is probably the best known eau de vie in France. Bartlett pears from our neighboring Keswick Flats orchard are picked while still green and allowed to ripen from within at the distillery. The ripe fruit is then pressed and the pulp fermented prior to distillation.

Varietal Definition
Brandy :
Brandy (from brandywine, derived from Dutch brandewijn — “burnt wine”) is a spirit produced by distilling wine, the wine having first been produced by fermenting grapes. Brandy contains 36%–60% alcohol by volume and is normally consumed as an after-dinner drink. While some brandies are aged in wooden casks, most are coloured with caramel colouring to imitate the effect of such aging. Brandy can also be made from fermented fruit (i.e., other than grapes) and from pomace.
