The roasted fruit then ferments whole for one to eight weeks in a pied de cuve of evaporated pineapple juice and mineral water with Champagne yeast — never any added sugar or nutrients — before the fermented juices are crushed and distilled together with the solids in a single run through Matchbook's pot-column still.
