✨ Technical Specifications
In the lush valleys and forested slopes of Alsace, the tradition of distilling wild fruits is as ancient and revered as winemaking itself. Cave du Vieil-Armand honors this heritage with their Framboise, a traditional specialty that captures the intense, aromatic essence of ripe raspberries. Sourced from the abundant berry patches of the region, the fruit undergoes careful maceration and traditional processing to preserve its delicate, volatile esters. The result is a vibrant tribute to Alsatian forest folklore, delivering a pure, concentrated burst of fresh raspberry perfume and a warming, refined finish that has graced local tables for generations.
