Lorenz Humbel, Stetten, Aargau, Schweiz
Cherry brandy, spontaneous fermentation 

So is the spontaneous fermentation hype just the latest hipster fad? Not at all – it’s a time-honoured method that used to be incredibly common. And it’s exactly what “cherry guru” Lorenz Humbel does to achieve the fine complexity and truly unique profile of his cherry brandy. Unlike many of its mass produced peers, it isn’t soft and almondy, but straight and aromatic with juicy notes of cherry. It’s exciting, vivacious and goes down a treat.
