Plantation fruit and pesticides are not an option for Johannes Kolonko
He is always on the lookout for old trees for his spirits, takes unusual routes and places small ads in the Badische Zeitung newspaper. “It's often older people who respond to my ads and have had an old fruit tree in their garden for many years that has never been harvested,” he says. “They are happy when I come and take their fruit.” He drives his old VW T4 through small villages around Staufen im Breisgau to his fruit trees: plums in Grunern, blackcurrants in Ihringen and butter pears in Heitersheim. Old, special varieties hang everywhere, which Johannes Kolonko harvests by hand from the tree, or he waits until they are on the ground - a tedious job. The vineyard peaches bear fruit for up to eight weeks, with ripe fruit falling every day. For Johannes Kolonko, this means searching the ground under the trees almost every day to keep ahead of rodents, insects and rot. If a storm threatens, he can be found under the fruit trees at four in the morning with a head torch. “I know why I do it, nobody sends me - I'm happy doing it.” Once the boxes are filled, the work continues.
A lengthy process
He pre-sorts the fruit according to ripeness and leaves those that still need time to ripen in the refrigerated trailer. Boxes of quinces, peaches, apples, pears and plums are stacked inside. The ripe fruit is mashed and filled into stainless steel barrels. Before this, each individual fruit is passed through Johannes Kolonko's hands again, checked for damage and pitted by hand. All fruit is fermented spontaneously and no yeast is added. Depending on the type of fruit and temperature, this can take between three weeks and four months. Only then does he distil on his old copper still from 1963, which he fires with wood for the raw spirit. “The still holds 80 liters - a ridiculous amount compared to large distilleries,” he says. They work with tons of fruit, which is mechanically shaken from trees and processed all at once.
