VIZOVICE SLIVOVITZ

The taste of each year’s spirits is slightly different depending on the season, which affects the selection of the variety to be bottled.

The suitable climate conditions

for plum production found in Vizovice are determined mainly by its geographical location. That is one of the reasons why the early 20th century saw the local slopes covered by over 70,000 plum trees. Unfortunately, the forced collectivisation of agriculture caused a significant disruption, and most of the orchards were destroyed. In 2003 we decided to resume this orchard tradition and began planting our own fruit trees on the slopes of Těchlov Hill between Vizovice and Slušovice.

Each year since 2008, when we had our first harvest of twenty-five tons of plums of nine varieties, we have been producing gold slivovitz, created from a blend of the best varieties of each year.  Since 2009 we have also brought a single-variety Vizovice Slivovitz to market each year. This unique product is made from the best variety of the given year. The maximum number in one edition is determined by the year of harvest, the minimum by the amount of distillate.

The taste of each year’s spirits is slightly different depending on the season, which affects the selection of the variety to be bottled.

Slivovitz should be served at room temperature: only then can it fully develop its aroma and flavour, allowing you to fully enjoy the work of Vizovice’s distillers.
