Sour cherry brandy - brandy, 43% vol., Ziegler

The Swabian Vistula - which is used for the sour cherry brandy - grows wild on the vineyards in Swabia and is known for its extraordinary sour cherry aroma. (For 0.5 l brandy you need about 11.4 kg sour cherries) The Ziegler distillery works with contract fruit growers. They guarantee the purchase of their products and control their cultivation. Only fully ripe, undamaged fruit from the best locations and growing areas in Europe is used for the brandies. Wild fruits such as wild cherries, wild sour cherries, wild mirabelle plums, wild quinces, zibarten (a wild plum), sloes and elderberries are given to the distillery by cone pickers who know exactly the locations of these wild trees and bushes. From 2022, the Ziegler brandies will only be filled in 0.5 l bottles.
