MORE INFORMATION:
Schoemanati Pomegranate Liqueur is a truly unique and artisanal product, handcrafted from a grape-distilled spirit made without the use of yeast or additives in the fermentation process. This traditional, clean method allows the natural flavour of the grapes to shine through, forming a smooth and pure base for the infusion of tart, vibrant pomegranate. This liqueur is a harmonious balance of fruit intensity and spirit elegance, offering a fresh and refined drinking experience. Appearance: Deep ruby red with natural, jewel-like clarity Nose: Aromas of fresh pomegranate and delicate floral hints Palate: A bold burst of pomegranate followed by gentle acidity, soft grape undertones, and a clean, lingering finish Mouthfeel: Silky with light viscosity and subtle spirit warmth Serving Suggestions: • Neat or on ice as a refreshing sipper • Cocktail-friendly – adds a vibrant fruit twist to spritzers, gin cocktails, and champagne

Schoemanati Pomegranate Liqueur pairs beautifully with a wide variety of sweet and savory dishes. Its balance of bright acidity and smooth spirit warmth makes it a versatile complement both on the plate and in the glass. The vibrant, fruit-forward flavor enhances everything from cheese boards to rich desserts and festive mains. Cheese Pairings: • Goat’s cheese – the tang of chèvre enhances the pomegranate’s natural acidity • Brie or Camembert – creamy textures are lifted by the liqueur's bright fruit character Charcuterie / Savoury: • Prosciutto or bresaola – salty, cured meats contrast beautifully with fruity acidity • Roast duck or turkey – adds a bold, fruity layer to gamey or festive dishes Sweet Dishes: • Dark chocolate desserts – flourless cakes, truffles, or tarts match the richness • Panna cotta or cheesecake – drizzle on top or serve alongside for a refreshing finish Serving Suggestions with Food: • Serve slightly chilled in a small glass with cheese platters or petit fours • Use in a reduction glaze for poultry or pork to add depth and fruit complexity
