Winegrower Johann Lang

Grander Improves the Flavour of Good Wine and Schnapps 
“Can wine be revitalised?” is a question that is often asked. Johann Lang, a wine-grower who also runs a typical wine tavern in the idyllic St. Johann in der Heide in Eastern Styria, wanted to find out more and accordingly began a private series of tests on wine and schnapps from his own stills. His first result: “Good wine gives excellent results. We found that wine passed through a Grander revitaliser before bottling was significantly ‘fresher’, more easily digestible and ‘younger’ after a year than a comparable sample that had not been revitalised. The flavour of the fruit is more noticeable. Revitalisation smoothes the ‘edges’ of the wine, so one should only revitalise those wines where this is a desirable effect.” There is one thing the wine-grower warns against: “Grander Technology will not transform bad wine into good wine. Anyone trying to do that is bound to fail miserably.” The experiences gained with wine also apply to schnapps: “The same thing happens here”, says the distiller of quality spirits. “Revitalisation removes the harshness of the alcohol, making the schnapps rounder, more easily digestible and softer, and the flavour of the fruit is definitely enhanced!” |
