Chateau Selešťany Pear Brandy

Fruit distillate Chateau Selešťany Hruškovica is made from wild pears, which were once one of the most widespread fruit species in our region. Today, they are rarely found, as foresters remove them from the growths. If found, they are more or less like a pardoned solitary tree, which, due to the activity of forest game, grows into interesting shapes. However, due to its qualities, it deserves more attention.

The fruit is a 2–3 cm long malvice, with a sweet-bitter taste, hard even at full ripeness. It is suitable for further use only after browning or drying. In the past, it had its main application in folk medicine in dried form or as a renowned distillate. Wild pears have more medicinal properties than cultivated pears.

Processing wild fruits is extremely demanding. It has an unusual aroma, underlined by unique flavor undertones, and is among the rarities that cannot be compared to anything else. We recommend it to consumers, connoisseurs, or hunters, as it pairs very well with game. It is best enjoyed at room temperature or slightly chilled.

The distillate is bottled with an alcohol content of 52 % and the bottle volume is 0.5l.
