Prinz Granatapfel 17%

Volume: 0.02 litres | Alcohol content: 17% | Chill filtration: Yes | Colouring: No

Special Features:

Fresh pomegranate juice and distillate form the base of this fruit juice liqueur. Prinz uses fully ripe fruit and a traditional recipe. The high juice content shapes its intense, sweet-tart pomegranate flavour, while the liqueur has a ruby-red colour in the glass.

The 0.02-litre miniature contains the liqueur at 17% alcohol. Prinz recommends serving it neat at 8 to 15 °C. It can also be served with sparkling wine or Prosecco as a fruity aperitif.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: On the nose, the liqueur offers juicy pomegranate aromas. Its fresh, fruity character has a slightly bitter edge.
• Palate: On the palate, intense pomegranate fruit meets delicate sweetness and subtle acidity. The liqueur feels smooth and rounded, yet remains lively without seeming heavy.
• Finish: The short to medium-length finish remains clean and fruity, with a lingering impression of pomegranate.

Distillery/Bottler:

Fein-Brennerei Prinz is based in Hörbranz in the Austrian region of Vorarlberg. Its roots go back to 1886, when fruit grower Thomas Prinz founded a cider-making business and a cooperage. He registered the distilling business in 1921. Since 2017, Thomas IV. and Maximilian Prinz have run the family business in its fourth generation.

An important part of the fruit processing takes place at Obsthof Leiblachtal, which opened near the distillery in 2013. Freshly harvested fruit is processed there into mash, fruit purée and juice, ready for the production of schnapps and liqueurs. This integration of fruit processing and spirits production is part of the company's approach.
