Description: Walcher’s organic brandies depend on the quality of the raw materials used to produce them. All of the fruit can be traced back to the original fruit tree, and is stored for as short a time possible. The waterbath, or double boiler, method of distillation guarantees that the valuable essences and flavors of the fruit are preserved in the final spirit. The resulting alcoholic beverages thus retain their aromatic character and taste.
The Rondo Spritz is an apertivo-style liqueur with a base of organic neutral wheat spirit that is macerated with gentian, rhubarb, wormwood, then flavored and colored with Sicilian lemon juice, elderberry extract, and organic cane sugar.
