The best fruit from the Lake Constance region
Fresh apples of different varieties from the orchards around Lake Constance are the basis for the aromatic distillate that gives our Old Lake Constance Apple its characteristic taste. The temperature conditions in the Lake Constance region ensure the optimal sugar-acid-ratio of the fruit, which makes for a particularly intense taste typical of the variety.
Years of storage for the perfect flavour
The harvest season of our Lake Constance apples begins towards the end of summer. For the production of apple schnapps, we only use fully ripe, fresh fruit that is delivered to Obsthof and processed into mash straight away. Double distilled in a vacuum distillation process, the fruity apple distillate is stored for several years in stoneware. Only then does it enter the specially made Prinz wooden barrel, where the schnapps has another few months to mature. During this time, our Old Lake Constance Apple develops its golden-yellow colour, its fine wood barrel note and its incomparable smoothness of taste. After maturing, we refine the schnapps with natural fruit extracts, which give it a subtle, pleasant sweetness.
