Unveil the exquisite clarity and unique flavour profile of Tarie Bihor Pear Vodka, a premium spirit that stands as a testament to Romanian distillation artistry and authentic fruit infusion. This 500ml bottle, presented at a versatile 37.5% alcohol by volume, promises a truly distinctive drinking experience for connoisseurs across New Zealand.
Tarie Bihor, originating from the Bihor region of Romania, is part of a rich tradition of fruit brandy (or țuică and rachiu in Romania) production, where spirits are crafted from locally grown fruits. This Pear Vodka (often a fruit distillate or a vodka infused with fruit essence) is meticulously crafted from ripe pears, capturing their sweet, aromatic essence to create a truly inviting spirit. The emphasis is on natural fruit flavour and a smooth, clean distillation.
On the nose, Tarie Bihor Pear Vodka offers an incredibly inviting and subtly sweet aroma of ripe, juicy pears, reminiscent of a fresh orchard or a homemade pear compote, with delicate floral undertones. The palate is defined by its remarkable smoothness and a clean, crisp taste that glides effortlessly. It delivers a harmonious interplay of the pear's natural sweetness and a refreshing, gentle fruitiness, perfectly balanced by the spirit's inherent purity. The finish is remarkably clean, warming, and long-lasting, leaving a sophisticated impression of its unique fruit character without any artificiality.
Tarie Bihor Pear Vodka is exceptionally versatile. It is ideally enjoyed neat, chilled, as a sophisticated digestif after a meal, particularly during New Zealand's cooler winter evenings when a warming and flavourful spirit is welcomed. It also serves as an intriguing base for crafting unique cocktails, lending a distinctive fruit character to your creations. Consider it in a "Pear Martini," mixed with sparkling wine for a "Pear Bellini," or simply mixed with soda water and a slice of fresh pear for a refreshing, simple serve. It also excels when drizzled over ice cream, fruit salads, or used in baking to impart a rich, aromatic pear flavour to tarts or cakes.
