Fruit & Terroir
Korijen Pear Rakija is made exclusively from Williams pears (Viljamovka), grown in the fertile orchards of Bosnian Posavina, a region renowned for pears with exceptional aroma and a naturally high sugar content.
The combination of an ideal climate and generations of expertise provides the perfect conditions for fruit that’s rich in floral and honeyed notes.
Varietals
We only use carefully selected pears, harvested at the precise moment of full ripeness, firm to the touch and bursting with intense fragrance and flavour. The harvest traditionally begins at late August, when the pears’ signature floral scent and sweetness reach their peak. All our fruit comes from our own orchards or from trusted growers from the Bosnian Posavina region, ensuring consistent quality and the finest fruits available.
A crosscut of a Williams pear tree from our orchard
The fragrant English Williams pear began spreading worldwide in the late 18th century, and due to its excellence, it quickly became a favorite. The rich crowns of the tree are highly productive for an average of 30-40 years, and in Kulina, they have been providing fruit for rakija for generations. The elegance of a young pear tree can be recognized by its smooth bark, while the passage of time is marked by gradual darkening and a texture that becomes increasingly rough.
Distillation
Our double distillation process meticulously removes any harsh fractions esuring we extract only the delicate and layered aromas of the pear.
Our methods ensure that we preserve the fruits natural perfume and flavour without the need for any additional enhancers. Korijen Pear Rakija captures the essence of freshly picked pears in their purest and most expressive form.
Unaged Pear Character
Korijen pear rakija is refined, fruity, and extremely aromatic – like a freshly picked pear from the orchard. It abounds in distinctly fruity aromas, with subtle bright notes. The palate is full, harmonious, and smooth, finishing clean and fresh, making it one of the most elegant and versatile rakijas in our collection
A short maturation in 225-liter Slavonian oak barrels subtly enriches our pear brandy without compromising its original character. The wood provides golden straw color and imparts a softer, silky texture, gentle woody notes, and delicate hints of vanilla and mild sweetness.
The natural floral and fruity aromatics of the pear remain at the forefront creating a perfectly balanced spirit that unites freshness with refinement.
