More information about Pisco MalPaso Pedro Jimenez
Pisco MalPaso Pedro Jimenez is a Chilean grape brandy made from Pedro Jimenez grapes, which emphasizes the sweet, raisin-like, sweet-fruity characteristics of this grape variety.
The grapes are harvested very late (comparable to "Auslese") and pressed very carefully and gently into a strong wine, which is only distilled into pisco after several months of ageing on the fine lees. It is then stored for another 6 months in steel tanks under exclusion of air in order to achieve a soft mouthfeel when drinking, but without changing the pure taste of the Pedro Jimenez grapes.
Perfect for a pisco tonic, or for anyone who likes their pisco sour a little fruitier and sweeter (without using more sugar).

By the 1940s, the area under cultivation had expanded to 100 hectares, and the white wine now produced by his son was enjoying great popularity nationwide. Since at least 1937, the company also distilled its own pisco in smaller quantities. The farm, which is now run by the fourth generation of the family and in which the fifth generation is already working diligently, now cultivates over 700 hectares. There, not only grapes for the own Pisco production are cultivated, but also table grapes and citrus fruits, as well as grapes for other Pisco producers. The best vines...
