Nusbaumer Framboise Eau de Vie

The delightful aroma of Framboise d'Alsace raspberry schnapps appeals to anyone who enjoys fruity drinks. In order to produce this beverage, fruits low in sugar undergo a maceration process. Brandy, added at a ratio of 12.5 liters to two hundredweight of berries, serves as the alcohol component. Distillation of eight kilograms of raspberries yields one liter of raspberry spirit, which then rests in earthenware pots. It is recommended to consume the schnapps approximately two years after bottling to fully appreciate its aroma and exceptional quality. The Nusbaumer Framboise stands out for its rich, fruity scent and flavor, attributed mainly to the aging process and the high-quality fruits sourced from the Vill� Valley in the Vosges. The Nusbaumer family, with a longstanding schnapps distilling tradition spanning generations, established their official distillery in 1947. Today, they merge tradition and experience with state-of-the-art technology. Meticulous care during the fermentation process is crucial to ensure consistent quality. The continental climate of the region also contributes to the distinctiveness of the brandies produced, as the warm summers and harsh winters enhance the fruits' maturity, making them perfect for brandy production. The raspberry schnapps is colorless and has a highly fragrant nose, with the fruity flavors showcasing their full intensity, freshness, and tautness on the palate. The tart notes originating from the fruit's core fill the mouth, and the finish leaves a refreshing sensation, with the finesse and freshness of the wild fruit lingering.
