The Licor Granpecher is one of the most emblematic products of the González Byass winery, one of the most prestigious in Spain. This liqueur is known for its smooth and fruity flavor, making it ideal to be consumed as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to desserts.
The history of Licor Granpecher dates back to the 19th century, when Manuel María González, founder of the González Byass winery, began experimenting with different fruit varieties to create a high-quality liqueur. Finally, in 1884, he succeeded in creating the perfect recipe for Licor Granpecher, which has remained virtually unchanged to this day.
One of the peculiarities of Licor Granpecher is that it is made exclusively from Pecherín peaches, which are grown in the Calatayud region, in the province of Zaragoza. These peaches are hand-picked at the optimal ripeness, ensuring they have the appropriate flavor and sweetness for the liqueur production.
The process of making Licor Granpecher is careful and meticulous, carried out at the facilities of the González Byass winery in Jerez de la Frontera. After the peaches are harvested, they are macerated in high-proof alcohol for a period of time to extract their flavor and aroma. Subsequently, sugar is added and the liqueur is filtered to remove impurities.
The result is a liqueur with a light yellow color, a smooth and fruity flavor, highlighting the balance between peach sweetness and alcohol. Licor Granpecher is best enjoyed chilled to fully appreciate its nuances and aromas.
Licor Granpecher appeals to a wide range of consumers, thanks to its versatility and unique flavor. It can be consumed as an aperitif, neat or on the rocks, or as an accompaniment to desserts such as ice cream or fruit pies. Additionally, its elegant bottle and label featuring a peach drawing make it perfect as a gift or special occasion memento.
