For the plum grappa from the Zu Plun distillery use is made exclusively of typical plums of South Tyrol farms, which are grown directly by Plunhof at about 1100 m altitude. The plums that grow in this climate characterised by strong temperature oscillations are small and compact, with a more concentrated aroma than common fruits. It is this aroma that is expected to reveal itself to the full in the plum grappa, which is why the ripe fruits are cautiously stoned before further processing. The fruit thus handpicked and prepared is carefully mashed. After natural fermentation without additives the pulp is distilled twice. The plum as showcase fruit keeps presenting distillation master Rabanser with the challenge of improving his art and of striving towards perfection and balance – a concept which is also expressed in the motif on the label: a rhinoceros balancing a ball.
