"Produced entirely by hand at the vineyard", this ancholado pisco is a blend of Quebranta and Italia grape varieties.

PiscoLogía pisco is distilled from estate-grown grapes wine by vineyard owner and master distiller, Nati Gordillo. The grapes are hand-harvested to ensure selection of the best grapes and these are crushed by foot, fermented and single distilled in a 300-litre copper pot still. Prior to bottling, PiscoLogía benefits from a six month maturation period in neutral casks (twice the required period).

Established in 2008 by Meg McFarland, PiscoLogía is a 100% women-owned brand exclusively produced by Nati Gordillo at her winery and distillery near Azpitia, Peru.

Review and Tasting

Sampled on 12/10/2019

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Faint green grape skins and faint white pepper with jasmine and faint old-fashioned linseed oil window putty.

Taste:

Assertive white pepper spirituous spice. Green apple skin, green grape and dried apricot with sweet pineapple esters.

Aftertaste:

Long green apple skin and green grape finish with white pepper spirituous spice.

Overall:

Honest and small batch. Even the light orange skin textured surface of the glass bottle looks and feels artisan. Good fruity flavours with subtle funky esters.
