A Swabian cannot let such a thing go to waste—so Jörg Geiger lets this pomace dry and ferment. It is only distilled after 1–2 weeks, well aware that this means sacrificing some alcohol, but in exchange capturing the fullness of the fruit aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne reason we love this Champagner Bratbirne brandy so much is its excellent capacity for maturation and further development after years of storage. Jörg Geiger explains it this way: \"We consciously take the time to mature our brandies in wooden barrels. For instance, during summer temperatures, the rather youthful, harsh components of the brandy are gently carried away by the 'angels.' In winter, a gentle air exchange takes place again due to the open pores of the wooden barrel. A gentle, natural method of aging. The loss, also known as the 'angel's share,' which occurs through the use of a wooden barrel, averages just under 6% per year at the Jörg Geiger Manufactory. Only up to 4% is tax-recognized. Nevertheless, from our perspective, if one thinks long-term, the increase in value of the brandy through storage is significantly higher. Therefore, we decided to let the Champagner Bratbirne age in barrels as well.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJörg Geiger Manufactory – Brandies from meadow fruit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Jörg Geiger Manufactory is located in the small municipality of Schlat, eight kilometers southeast of Göppingen, in the middle of the Swabian Jura. Here, in this cultural landscape shaped by mountainous forests, juniper heaths, and meadow orchards with fruit trees that are sometimes over 100 years old, lies the home of Jörg Geiger and his manufactory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe youthful-looking Jörg Geiger grew up in his parents' restaurant, the over 300-year-old Gasthof Lamm. In addition to the thriving restaurant, his father operated a small distillery. There, he produced single-varietal distillates, such as the Stuttgarter Gaishirtle—a true rarity from an old pear variety. The passion for distilling and the preservation of old varieties was passed down from father to son. Since 1994, Jörg Geiger has continued to run the inn and the fruit distillery. Even though he has become known for his sparkling wine from the Champagner Bratbirne and his non-alcoholic Prisecco, his fruit brandies also deserve attention. Such as these special sweet wines made from fruit from Swabian meadow orchards, self-distilled fruit brandies, and a great deal of rest and time for aging in old wooden barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manufaktur Jörg Geiger","offers":[{"title":"700 ml","offer_id":53073620304206,"sku":"026MAN0688","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/1124\/5646\/files\/manufaktur-geiger-champagner-bratbirne-im-portweinfass-gelagert.jpg?v=1751007618"},{"product_id":"manufaktur-geiger-johannisbeere-im-madeirafass","title":"Currant in Madeira Cask","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBlackcurrant aged in Madeira casks – from Manufaktur Geiger\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Manufaktur Geiger \u003cstrong\u003eBlackcurrant aged in Madeira casks\u003c\/strong\u003e is a fruit brandy made from blackcurrants from the Swabian Alb, matured in wooden casks. The soft and sweet aromas of the Madeira cask impart balanced, spicy notes to the dark-berried blackcurrant. In terms of taste, this brandy reveals dark berry fruit aromatics, wild berries, raspberries, liquorice, dark chocolate, stalky and pomace-like accents, earthy, green-leafy, grassy-mossy notes, nettle, menthol-mint, delicate elderflower, pleasant fruit acidity, medicinal-quince, iodine-petrol notes, and a slight bitterness. Presented in high-quality gift packaging, this spirit makes a noble gift for fruit brandy connoisseurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the Geiger Blackcurrant aged in Madeira casks is made\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to fruit juices and liqueurs, distillates are also produced from the blackcurrant. A concentrate can even be extracted from some of the buds, giving perfumes a special, fruity note. In terms of intensity and aroma, the blackcurrant is the flagship of the berry family; even its leaves are fragrant. In its distilled form, the variety of aromas presents itself as particularly dark-berry fruity and juicy, with many green, grassy, and stalky components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this specialty, Jörg Geiger only selects blackcurrants grown in the fields of the Läpple family in Hattenhofen, in the foothills of the Swabian Alb, mostly on Jurassic shale soils. The Läpples grow the approximately six hectares of blackcurrants exclusively for our manufactory. Every year, Jörg Geiger guarantees his farmer that he will purchase all harvested fruit. This allows him to distill this single-varietal brandy in years with a large harvest. He requires 50 kilograms of blackcurrants for one liter of pure distillate after the rough and fine distillation. As a youthful distillate with a rather short aftertaste, the maturation in wooden casks is the reason for the long finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Madeira casks used have been filled five times. Selected red wines are stored for three to five months, or even several years, under heat exposure between 45 °C and 75 °C in appropriately heated warehouses or under corrugated iron roofs. This storage in the heat leads to the special concentration and the typical flavor profile of Madeira wines. After our distillate has matured for at least three years in the Madeira cask, the floral, dark-berry fragrance combines with the fantastically sweet notes on the finish, which lingers on the palate with light bitter notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eManufaktur Geiger – Brandies from the sweet wine cask\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Manufaktur Jörg Geiger is located in the small municipality of Schlat, eight kilometers southeast of Göppingen in the middle of the Swabian Alb.
