Kiwi Gold - The smooth bronze skin, sunny silken flesh and tropical nectar of the new ZESPRI? GOLD Kiwifruit were created nature?s way, born out of a union of a mother plant with yellow flesh and great flavour and a male plant from the large succulent Guilin family.
The story begins in the late 1970?s and in ?92, a single vine from this partnership was planted in New Zealand?s Te Puke Hort Research Orchard in block 37, row 1, bay 16, position A, hence the name Hort16A. For the next five years, nestled within rolling hills and fed by the rich volcanic soils and warm sun of the Bay of Plenty, Hort16A was nurtured and constantly evaluated for taste, colour, size, storage and shelf life.
In 1998, 4000 trays of Hort16A were exported for the first time. Around the world, people had their first chance to try a new, totally natural kiwifruit variety. Each year since then, the world?s best kiwifruit growers have planted and harvested more ZESPRI? GOLD Kiwifruit.
The process of distilling is simple and time honoured.
We use ripe and sweet ZESPRITM GOLD Kiwifruit to achieve the high quality of fruit distillate we need for this Liqueur. The pulped fruit is infused with neutral spirits, distilled in New Zealand from fermented whey. This pulp is, after a few days, batch distilled in our copper still. The traditional form of the pot still and the skill of the distiller combine to yield a small amount of pure fruit essence - the natural flavours and aromas of the fruit.
Only the heart of the kiwi gold distillate is aged for a minimum of 6 months before it is blended into Distillerie Deinlein Kiwi Gold Liqueur, using only spring water, sugars, and 23 carat gold flakes (certified food-grade gold) - no artificial flavours or aromas ? only the tantalising aroma of ripe, golden kiwifruit.
Our discontinuous copper pot still has a capacity of 150L and a column with three adjustable stages; allowing for triple distillation in one step. The copper bowl is filled with the fermented or infused fruit mash. This bowl sits in a water bath, which is heated up, thereby heating the mash in the copper bowl.
Pure alcohol starts to evaporate at 78.3 degrees Celsius. At this point the distiller decides when the first run changes to the heart and when, after some hours, the heart changes to the tail. To release the full spectrum of aroma, the distillation process has to be very slow.
Once blended, our Kiwi Gold Liqueur is aged for another few months. All our products are handcrafted, and as such the wax seal, the copper and paua shell is all hand applied.
Paua shell was traditionally used by Maori to illuminate the eyes of their carvings and artwork. Paua shell is the most colourful of all the abalone shells; others pale in comparison. The dominant blues and greens intermix with tones of pink, crimson and purple. This kaleidoscope of colours changes when lighting varies or when viewed from different angles. The lustre is similar to that of Mother of Pearl shell, but much more vibrantly coloured.
