BLACK STAR FARMS
Our Spirits & Distillery

Pear and its Spirit Brandy
Black Star Farms is located on the same 45th Parallel that runs through some of the great wine regions of the world. Our unique “lake effect” climate allows us to produce classic varietal wines that truly express our dynamic wine region. Fruit is sourced from both the proprietor’s vineyards and from those of local grower partners on the Old Mission and Leelanau Peninsulas. This diversity allows us to obtain consistent quality across vintages.
Winemaker Comments
In Spring, a bottle is tied over a budding branch in the pear orchard with hopes that a Bartlett pear will grow to maturity inside the bottle. The pear is harvested, cleaned and washed, and the bottle is then filled with pear brandy from pears grown in the same orchard and hand labeled in this special limited presentation. This “pear in the bottle” is a true collector’s item and can be prominently displayed. The pear becomes calcified over time and is not consumed. As the bottle is emptied, but while the pear is still covered with brandy, simply purchase a bottle of Spirit of Pear and refill the “pear in the bottle” for many years of enjoyment.
Tasting Notes
This has a similar mouthfeel to vodka, but is packed with
luscious pear flavor.
Thoughts for Food
Mix into salsa, use for flambés or sip as a digestif/digestive
after a meal. Also delicious when added to Swiss fondue.
