No 203 Brandenburg Bernese Rose Apple

Sometimes the solution is closer than you think: while searching for local fruit, we came across a Berlin-based association with a truly commendable purpose. The dedicated members have set themselves the goal of preserving endangered orchards in Brandenburg and planting new ones. The focus is on old apple varieties typical of the region, of which they have quite a few different ones.
One of these is the Bernese Rose Apple, an apple variety that was found in Switzerland around 1870 as a chance seedling in a forest. This variety owes its rather rapid spread to its very beautiful crimson-red glowing skin color when ripe for picking. The yellowish-white and juicy flesh has a balanced sugar-acid ratio and a floral-spicy aroma with a sweetish wine note. This description of its aromas also made it interesting to us, and so we carefully fermented the rose apples, hand-picked at full ripeness in early October, and distilled the alcohol formed by the yeasts in the process, along with the delicate apple aromas, into our single-varietal brandy.
