Okanagans finest
fruit brandies

Maple Leaf Spirits produces fine single-fruit eau de vie (colorless, traditional European brandies distilled from unsweetened, fermented fruit juices) from cherries (Kirsch), apricots and Williams (Bartlett) pears, as well as liqueurs based on same fruit brandies and grappa, the traditional Italian grape brandy.

The bouquet of fine fruit brandies is best enjoyed at room temperature in brandy tulips as an after-dinner drink or as an ingredient in fine desserts or confections.

Skinny

The Italians and the Swiss call it "Grappa", the French call it "Marc", the Greek "Zivania" and the Germans named it "Tresterbrand".

No matter how you call it, it just boils down to being a delicious distillate made from the skins, stems and pits from grapes after the wineries took their share to produce award winning wines.

 

Skinny Pinot Noir

$41.49 375 ML Bottle

Like the very best from Italy, we distil juicy, fresh pomace of Pinot Noir from local wineries. We don't "stretch" the pomace by adding water and sugar. Just pure, soft-pressed pomace is distilled to capture the concentrated aromas and smooth finishes that characterize the best grappas. Best enjoyed after a heavy meal with a cup of freshly brewed espresso.

Skinny Gewurztraminer

The Okanagan is internationally recognized as an ideal terroir to produce outstanding wines. Sandy soil and many hot summer days develop the full floral aroma in the grapes. We carefully tender and nurture the pomace of the Gewurztraminer to capture a delicious array of fragrances from this highly aromatic variety with hints of lychee, pineapple and tea roses.
