Conferencebirne unfiltriert 2018

Conference pears from the Sammet family’s own orchards are picked from the tree by hand at the ideal ripeness, left to ripen until the flavour is just right, mashed at low speed and fermented slowly and cool. The mash is distilled by distiller and spirits sommelier Martin Sammet in the copper pot still, the way his family has done it for generations. The heart of the run then rests for one to three years in a glass balloon, before it is brought down to drinking strength with soft water from an old spring in the Löwenstein hills and bottled by hand. A clear, wonderfully pear-like brandy. The 2018 bottling, unfiltered, 42 % vol, 0.5 l.
