Faude feine Brände – Cherry Brandy

The Faude feine Brände Cherry is a magnificent Black Forest classic from the distillery at Kaiserstuhl. Master distiller Florian transforms plump, juicy cherries into a finely fragrant composition in the glass. Only fully ripe fruit of the best quality is processed into delicious spirits in his distillery in Bötzingen, because the experienced distiller is sure: a good distillate begins with top-quality fruit. It's no coincidence that his brandies have won national and international awards, and the cherry brandy is one of the classic local products in the Faude feine Brände range.

The cherry harvest marks the beginning of the distilling season at Faude. Dollenseppler and Schwarze Königin, these old cherry varieties that thrive on standard trees in the Markgräflerland, make it into the Faude cherry brandy. For Florian, they are irreplaceable! They provide the unique character of this modern cherry brandy. Strong fruit aromas, but only light stone notes, meet a lot of dark chocolate. The Faude feine Brände Cherry is a fruity gift with a long-lasting finish for all cherry lovers and Black Forest fans. This brandy is not only a delight on its own, it is also an indispensable ingredient of the Black Forest cherry cake.

Faude Cherry – the classic from the Black Forest

Florian Faude founded his distillery in Bötzingen am Kaiserstuhl in 2006. This was due to chance, as the farm his parents bought for the family came with a distilling right. For his brandies of the highest artisanal quality, the trained winemaker sources regionally produced fruits and vegetables, as his home region is one of the most fertile fruit, wine, and vegetable-growing areas. Optimal ripeness, shortest transport routes, and daily fresh processing are just some of the location-specific advantages of Faude feine Brände. What the brandy should later show in the glass, the fruit must already bring with it. From local fruits, he distills classics such as cherry, which no distiller in the Black Forest can do without, mirabelle plums, and Williams Christ pear brandy.

Brandy or Geist – Florian explains

The difference between a brandy (Brand) and a spirit (Geist) lies in the production method. For a fruit brandy, a mash is made from fermented fruits and then distilled. All the alcohol in the finished brandy comes from the sugar present in the fruit, as is the case with this classic cherry brandy. The brandy is then reduced to drinking strength (40% vol. alcohol) with the good, soft water of the Black Forest and bottled in the classic 500ml bottle without cold filtration, without added flavors or colorings.
