Violet Aguardente

Violet is an auguardente, a Portuguese style grape-based brandy. It’s made from the pomace of fermented Canadian gewürztraminer grapes. After the initial pressing of the grapes, we fermented the grape skins naturally with the wild yeast on the skins then tripled distilled the spirit. It was aged unoaked, to preserve the floral notes, for four years.

The result is an exceptionally smooth, premium brandy – floral on the nose and fruity on the palate. We find notes of stone fruit, rose, banana, and fennel, with a delicate, creamy finish. 

We enjoy Violet on ice, or in a simple cocktail.
