Pheasant Plucker's Ruby

Johanneshof Cellars 2011 Pheasant Plucker's RUBY

This fortified spirit is Johanneshof's interpretation of a Ruby Port. Many visits to Portugal have inspired our winemakers Edel and Warwick to pay homage to the great spirit of Oporto, the much loved 'Port'.
Johanneshof's RUBY is made from hand harvested Marlborough Pinot Noir grapes harvested in 2011 and fortified with Johanneshof's fine aged Brandy, our Johanneshof Edelbrand.

Johanneshof Cellars GRAPPA
Sorry , currently out of stock


Johanneshof  Cellars GRAPPA follows the great European traditions of Germany, Italy and France, and is made from fermented Gewürztraminer grape skins from a single vintage -selected from our top vineyards in Marlborough.

Eau de Vie
After an eight week ferment in small 500 litre fermenters the Gewürztraminer skins are then transferred whole to the copper still where they are distilled twice in order to achieve a pure and concentrated Eau de Vie.
 
This double distillation helps to unmask the spicy rose petal and Turkish delight characters of  the Gewürztraminer grape.
 
The resultant spirit is then placed into a small stainless steel tank and left to marry together for some time prior to being bottled unfiltered into 500ml bottles.
Being aged in tanks rather than barrels Eau de Vie D' Grappa retains its clear colour that is so typical for this traditional spirit.


Enjoy the Johanneshof Cellars GRAPPA ice cold and neat after a mourish meal or sip it together with your favourite coffee.
