Capurro Pisco – Quebranta

Quebranta is a single grape varietal pisco from this single estate producer. Closely related to the California Mission Grape, this reddish blue grape varietal tends to yield a high proof pisco due to its high sugar content.

Quebranta is all about texture, and is often used to emphasize texture in cocktails. It is often considered the best varietal for pisco sours, delivering a frothy, creamy and authentic pisco sour. But, it is also great for use in the tiki world due to its tropical flavor profiles, including lime, banana, and orgeat.

Tasting Notes: Ripe banana, hay, tea leafs, carrots, marzipan

Fun Facts: This is the most common pisco grape and all Acholados must include Quebranta as part of the blend by denomination law.

Organic and vegan restaurants love to work with Capurro due to the lack of chemicals used in the agriculture as well as the lack of additives in the final product. For those of us concerned about what we are putting into our bodies, although this is alcohol, it is one of the cleanest forms of alcohol you could consume.
