Suyo Pisco 'No. 1' Quebranta

Small batch pisco distilled in the Mala Valley of Lima, Peru Distilled from 100% Quebranta grapes, grown on Fundo La Esperanza, 100 meters above sea level, and hand-harvested in mid-March of 2019 Maceration, pressing, fermentation, and distillation take place just down the road from the vineyard at the bodega of Fredy Puma, who has been distilling pisco for over 15 years After pressing, the wine is spontaneously fermented for approximately 2 weeks Distilled to proof with a single distillation on a copper alembic still Rested for 20 months before bottling in food-grade polyethylene tanks that have been cured with the heads of previous distillation runs In accordance with the D.O. for Peruvian Pisco, no water is added post-distillation A sprightly nose of saltwater taffy, papaya, and parsnip blossoms on the palate with mango skin and ripe pear. The finish is delicate but long, exhibiting a hint of the custard and floral notes of French patisserie, and a lingering minerality that speaks to a proximity to the sea. Non-chill filtered; 40.5% ABV
