This fruit is relatively low-yielding and laborious to process, but worth every bit of effort! In many ways, the quince is our most interesting fruit. Our deliciously bitter Prima Donnas come from our own orchards and from farmers in Sasbach am Kaiserstuhl, as well as the Ortenau and Markgräflerland regions. A finely balanced mix of several varieties, such as Maliformis and Oblonga, adds complexity. The fruits are freed from their fine white grey-white hair by hand. Their exceptional fragrance, which derives from the essential oils in the skin, can also be found in the brandy. Intense, exotic, robust, and very, very dense in structure.
