About PiscoGuerra
A story of Love and Legacy
This is the story of a Dutch entrepreneur who was chosen to inherit some land in Peru. He travelled to the other side of the world to discover what distant relatives had passed on to him. There, in Peru, he found beautiful vinyards and a tradtional distillery producing a very tasteful spirit.
His experience in Peru and meeting his five fellow inheritors awakened a love and a passion for the land and its spirit. Together the inheritors contemplated the family legacy and its part in the cultural heritage of the land. This experience made them feel a strong desire to keep the spirit of the family alive.
To honour the family legacy and the cultural heritage of the land, the idea arose of presenting this beautiful spirit to the rest of the world under the original family name. And thus PiscoGuerra was born.
As PiscoGuerra is born out of the love and passion for a beautiful spirit, for the family legacy and the cultural heritage, we hold true to these values:
- outstanding qualtiy
- respect for tradition
- to celebrate life
The embodiment of PiscoGuerra and the values we stand for is The Smiling Condor
Pisco, a small town about one hour from Ica city, is not only the birthplace of the spirit Pisco, it is also the ancient Quechua word for Bird. This is why we choose the national bird of Peru, the Condor, to be our mascotte.
To emphasize the family legacy and the cultural heritage we drew our Condor in Inca style and gave our logo the colors of Peru: white and red. The third color in the logo is Gold. Gold is one of the most important mineral treasures of Peru. By chosing gold we once more underline our cultural heritage. Because gold is reserved for winners only, it also stands for our commitment to produce only Pisco of the highest quality.
The PiscoGuerra Condor is depicted smiling. We strongly believe life should be celebrated and enjoyed at every chance. Therefore our Condor is cheerful and always gives a happy smile.
PiscoGuerra 100% Quebranta Ica, Peru
We grow our Quebranta grapes in our vinyards in the Ica region on the coast of Peru, close to the town of Pisco. Only the best grapes get selected for the production of PiscoGuerra.
In our winery we soft press the grapes and make wine according to the tradition of generations. Following the family legacy we then distill the wine into PiscoGuerra, using French copper stills.
The grape is the only ingredient for our PiscoGuerra. We use no additives in the production of our beautiful white spirit. After the vinification and single distillation process our spirit holds 42% vol. of alcohol.
The result is a smooth and rich distillate with a complex pallet. It carries warmth and displays notes of raisins, licorice and almond.
PiscoGuerra can be enjoyed pure or as a basis for a tasteful cocktail.
