Zu Plun – Distillates from The Dolomites

“It is not necessary to be crazy to distill a great liquour, but it helps immensely”. A 14th-century document already mentioned the Plunhof at Siusi allo Sciliar (Seis am Schlern). In the past, the company was part of the land properties of the Hauenstein Castle and was therefore owned by no less than poet Oswald von Wolkenstein. Yet not even his vivid fantasy might have imagined that world-class and internationally famous fine spirits and fruit liquours would be born here, 1000 metres above sea level.

Today, Zu Plun is the distillery of the Dolomites that makes gins, rhums, liquours and grappas using mountain ingredients. The Dol Gin, made with Dolomitic plants, is certainly the one that best represents this area. There are many traces of this region in this liquour. The one that is probably most suited to the current trends is the Yellow Gin, in which the juniper aroma is enriched with the essence of lemons from the Garda region. The Grenoir is made with pomegranate, and finally the Salz Gin is enriched with salt and oysters.

Our Grappa

Grappa obtained from pomaces of small winemakers with high quality standards which keep more residual moisture after they have been pressed than the mass-produced pomace of bigger wineries. That is because the damper the raw material is, the more wine fragrances will pass through the spirit.

Zu Plun – Grappa Traminer – Grappa – Distillates from The Dolomites – High Quality – Liqueurs and Spirits

Intense and fruity grappa made of the pomace of grapes from Gumphof and Weinberghof wineyards in South Tyrol

Grappa Traminer. Despite the name, the Gewürztraminer (or aromatic Traminer) most likely does not come from the South Tyrolean plateau, but perhaps has its origin in Egypt, or in the darkness of the times. However, for hundreds of years this decidedly full-bodied and aromatic white wine of excellent quality has been grown in the Termeno area; in any case, it belongs to those vines that either hate or love each other. As a distillate, however, this subtle and delicate grape variety triumphs with its rich olfactory bouquet. Zu Plun’s Gewürztraminer grappa is made with pomace produced by the winemakers Gumphof and Weinberghof of South Tyrol.
