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
