Pisco 'No. 1 - Quebranta'

• Small batch pisco distilled in the Mala Valley of Lima, Peru
• Denomination of Origin (DO) Peruvian Pisco
• Distilled from 100% Quebranta grapes grown on Fundo La Esperanza, 14 kilometers from the Pacific Ocean and 100 meters above sea level
• Hand-harvested in 2021
• 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
• Single distilled on a copper alembic still
• Rested for over 2 years in food-grade polyethylene tanks that have been cured with the heads of previous distillation runs
• 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; 41.5% ABV (ABV may vary batch to batch)

This unadulterated brandy made of grapes grown by the Ponce de León family only 14 km from the Pacific Ocean is a textbook expression of Peruvian pisco as intended—a sipping spirit that reflects the terroir in which it is grown. As a gateway towards enjoying this pisco neat, try mixed with club soda or ginger beer with a splash of lime.
