Description

Pisco Capel is a Chilean Pisco, a grape brandy, made in the Elqui Valley, a long narrow strip of land through the Andes where the best Pisco is thought to come from. Chilean Pisco is made from Muscat grapes, sometimes with small amounts of Torontel and Pedro Ximenez. Pisco production dates back to the Spanish Conquistadores who bought grapes from the Canary Islands with them, produced wine, with distillation being the next logical progression. Peru claims the exclusive right to the use of the Pisco label name as an appellation of origin however, for many years, Chile has disputed this and Chilean Pisco is recognised in many parts of the world. Pisco is made from the distillation of grape must usually in copper pot stills. Capel Pisco Bicentenario Reservado is a reserve Pisco released to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Pisco Capel. Only selected grapes and the best barrels are used to make this top cuvée. This is a blend of Moscatel de Austria, Moscatel de Alejandria and Moscatel Rosado from the Valle del Rio Claro located int he Elqui Valley. Portions of Pisco Capel Bicentenario Reservado undergo single distillation, whilst the rest is double distilled. It is then aged for one year in a mixture of new and used American and French oak barrels.
