Williams Spirit 500ml ZU PLUN

PEAR WILLIAMS DISTILLATE

Pear Williams distillate. No other fruit type is more frequently distilled in our areas than the Williams pear - it is undisputedly the queen among more or less aromatic pip
fruit types. Williams is a favourite, although whoever tasted a glass of a true top quality distillate will find the large majority of common or garden pear brandies flat at best,
even artificial at worst. Top quality is seldom reached in the industry because substantial effort is required: the Williams pear for the Zu Plun distillate come from the
Burgraviato and lower Venosta area near Naturno. When they are picked they need to be much riper than the pears grown for eating. Only then do they release the
concentrated aroma which is captured in this distillate. Freshly picked and brightly coloured, these pears are immediately cored by hand in order to avoid unwanted bitter
tones, then mashed straight away: a labour-intensive process where time is of the essence. One bottle of this distillate contains the aroma of more than 8 kg of fruit pulp.
