This makes one thing clear: outstanding quality requires the best wine. Lisa Bauer is a winemaker and distiller who, despite her 28 years, already has a wealth of international experience. Lisa Bauer is the perfect master distiller for an outstanding vermouth – and is based in a region known for the cultivation of Yellow Muscat, the grape variety preferred in old vermouth recipes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eWine, herbs, sweet woodruff, sage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eNutmeg, peach, fruity, zesty, bitter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol content\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: 19% vol.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor this vermouth, a wine pressed from Yellow Muscat grapes is used. Half of the wine is distilled in a vacuum distillation plant. Lisa Bauer is one of the few who uses such a system. Due to the negative pressure generated by this system, the boiling point of alcohol (ethanol) is lowered from 78°C to about 38°C. This makes the distillation particularly gentle on the aromas. This rare distillation process is not the only special feature. Only a few producers use a wine distillate from the same grape variety and harvest to fortify the wine. In fact, most do not use any wine or grape brandy at all for the production of fortified wines like vermouth, as it is not mandatory by law. By using a distillate made from the same wine as the one it is fortifying, the typical spicy aromas of the Yellow Muscat are significantly enhanced. However, the extraction of the herbs or botanicals takes place neither in the wine nor in the wine distillate. Lisa Bauer emphasizes that she prefers to extract the aromas using neutral alcohol, as this gives her better control with higher precision. She mixes this highly concentrated macerate (ratio 1:22) with wine, wine distillate, and sugar. \u003cstrong\u003eThe legal maximum limit for sugar content for \"Extra Dry\" (maximum 30 grams of sugar per liter) is clearly undercut at 26.8 grams\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration-line: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLisa Bauer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eDistiller, Winemaker | Fehring, Styria\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLisa Bauer grew up in the East Styrian volcanic region as the daughter of a winemaking family. The family operates a small mixed farm and a \"Buschenschank,\" a tavern typical of the region for serving self-produced wines and cold dishes. Lisa Bauer was familiar with distilling from childhood, as the fruit grown on the family farm was distilled in a small 90-liter still. She received her initial training at the Silberberg School of Viticulture in Styria and graduated from the Federal College of Viticulture and Pomology in Klosterneuburg near Vienna with both her A-levels and a bachelor's degree. In addition to studying viticulture and oenology, Lisa Bauer acquired extensive expertise in fruit processing, mashing, and distillation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Freimeisterkollektiv (FMK)","offers":[{"title":"0.5 L","offer_id":54886229573965,"sku":"742642","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.2 L","offer_id":54886229606733,"sku":"742641","price":11.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/2822\/0749\/files\/742641.jpg?v=1790588158","url":"https:\/\/schoenbichler.at\/en\/products\/freimeisterkollektiv-wermut-extra-trocken","provider":"Theehandlung Schönbichler","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
