Capel Premium Pisco
|
PISCO CAPEL RESERVADO MOAI is an all natural grape spirit composed of 30% Muscat grapes and 70% Pedro Jimenez and Torontel grapes, then aged in wooden casks for four to six months, slowly distilled with the crystal-clear water from the Andes Mountains, resulting in a transparent spirit with delicate bouquet in a decanter reproduction of an actual Moai to the hips, with arms and a black topknot cap.
This decanter is the bottle Pisco Capel liqueur comes in, and is from Chile, which owns Rapa Nui (Easter Island). The bottle is a fairly faithful reproduction of an actual Moai, rendered all the way down to the hips, including arms, and a black topknot cap.
The Pisco Capel Special Edition is a tribute to the Rapa Nui culture. Carefully made with our variety of muscatel grapes, it manages to give us the authenticity of pisco, reflecting the spirit of an entire people in a bottle with a unique design created by an artisan from the island, which contains the perfect balance between flavor and tradition.
About the Producer
The Elquí Valley, about 470 kilometres north of Santiago, is known for its immense vineyards and blue skies – offering 360 days of sunshine per year. The Diaguitas, the original inhabitants, were known to irrigate the fields of this dry valley to optimize agriculture and with the arrival of the Spanish started the development of what was to become Chile’s national drink: Pisco Sour.
It wasn’t until the 20th century that pisco started to be produced on a large scale. The number of pisco distilleries grew as did modern technology. Some of these pisco distilleries are open to visitors; the Planta Capel Cooperative is one of them.
In 1938, a long journey of 25 partners began in the valleys of the IV region, united by a common dream, to build the Capel Cooperative.
Capel, the only pisco made by an association of more than 1,000 owners, 1,000 united farmers. Where each one is a vote in the cooperative, where it does not matter if you have one hectare or one hundred, where the treatment is equal.
We are turning 80 and writing history again. We are more than a thousand farmers united, more than a thousand owners creating a unique and quality Double Distilled Pisco. This story is a reflection of the effort and passion that our collaborators pour day by day who dream of bringing solidarity pisco from Chile to the world.
Distilling the liquid produces an alcohol of 85%. The alcohol comes in several qualities called “corazon” [the best], “cola” [waste] and “cabeza” [which will be distilled a second time]. The alcohol is subsequently kept in oak barrels, varying from five months to two years, until a perfect pisco puro has been obtained. The product has an alcohol percentage of about 35-40.
