In Vizovice, in the heart of the Wallachian region, the variety is grown on an area of almost 13 hectares, where the plums reach their optimum ripeness around 10 September. 

Production and ripening:
R. Jelínek Vizovická Plum brandy 2020 Stanley has undergone a meticulous production process, from separate harvesting and distillation of each variety to at least one year of ageing. The selected spirit was then bottled in a limited edition of 5,020 bottles, each bottle uniquely numbered.

Flavour profile:
R. Jelínek Vizovická Plum brandy 2020 Stanley offers a smooth and pleasantly fruity taste with distinctive notes of sweet almond aroma of pips. Ripe, sweet Stanley plums give this spirit a rich and balanced flavour, which is complemented by slightly aromatic nuances of floral honey from the pulp.
