Vinification of the Old Sloe from Privatbrennerei Unterthurner

The basis of the Old Sloe from Privatbrennerei Unterthurner consists of carefully selected sloes, which are hand-harvested at the optimal ripeness. 1. The sloes grow in high-quality, well-ventilated locations that give the berries their characteristic aromatic depth. 2. The harvest takes place late in autumn when the fruits have developed their full aroma and natural sweetness. 3. Afterwards, the sloes are gently pressed and subjected to a slow fermentation that preserves the full flavor profile. 4. The distillation is performed traditionally using the pot-still method, preserving the distillate’s lush fruitiness and fine spiciness. Maturation in small oak barrels rounds off the product. Here the spirit matures for several months, acquiring a subtle woody note and a velvety texture that completes the taste experience.

This complex production process guarantees an exceptional level of quality. The craft of Privatbrennerei Unterthurner is reflected in the fine balance of fruit and spice, which gives this product character and elegance.
