Fassreifung gibt diesen Weinen weitere Töne: Kastanie beim AP, Akazienholz und gebrauchte Sauternesfässer beim BP, gebrauchte Banyulsfässer beim KP. Frucht, Süße und Holz zeigen dabei jeweils ein anderes Verhältnis. Der Eisapfel folgt einem eigenen Weg. Sein Ausgangspunkt ist der spät reifende Bittenfelder Sämling, dessen Früchte noch am Baum Frost erfahren können. Hier bestimmen konzentrierter Apfelduft und eine deutliche Säure den Charakter.

The AP is similar in aroma to an old port wine, which is why some call it \"apple port.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBP\u003c\/strong\u003e: For the pear port, Jörg Geiger selects the Gelbmöstler and Speckbirne varieties. According to an old recipe, these are first allowed to \"sweat\" to develop their full aroma and fragrance. Only then are they gently pressed before the concentrated sweet juice is allowed to begin fermenting. To preserve the natural sweetness and intense fruitiness, Jörg Geiger stops the fermentation with high-proof, pure pear brandy, resulting in a sweet wine with 23% vol. alcohol content. This is followed by at least 18 months of storage in new acacia barrels and, for the most part, used Sauternes barrels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZP\u003c\/strong\u003e: In terms of color, the plum port shows a dense ruby red that reaches to the edge. Its lush scent of fully ripe plums with jammy undertones and creamy, soft dried fruit; a hint of vanilla and subtle smoky aromas. On the palate, a very dense opening of ripe plums paired with notes of black blackberry, with a good harmony between fruit, sweetness, and supporting alcohol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 3-piece Sweet Wine Trio gift set in a small wooden box is a noble gift for port wine fans and fruit brandy drinkers, thanks to its high-quality gift packaging.

Here in this cultural landscape, characterized by mountainous forests, juniper heaths, and meadow orchards with fruit trees that are partly over 100 years old, is 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 ran a small distillery. There, he produced single-varietal distillates, such as the Stuttgarter Gaishirtle – a true rarity made from an old pear variety. The passion for distilling and preserving old varieties was passed on from father to son. Jörg Geiger has been running the inn and the fruit distillery since 1994. Even though he has become famous for his sparkling wine made from the Champagner Bratbirne pear and his non-alcoholic Prisecco, his fruit brandies also deserve attention. Just like these special sweet wines made from fruit from Swabian meadow orchards, self-distilled fruit brandies, and plenty of peace and time to mature in old wooden barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manufaktur Jörg Geiger","offers":[{"title":"3x 50 ml","offer_id":53073616470350,"sku":"020MAN0714","price":25.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/1124\/5646\/files\/schnaps-geschenkset-joerg-geiger-trio-suesswein.jpg?v=1751007566"}],"url":"https:\/\/nurgutes.de\/en\/collections\/manufaktur-joerg-geiger-suessweine-eisapfel.oembed","provider":"nur Gutes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
