Purcellville, VA – Catoctin Creek Pearousia™ is now available from Virginia ABC and retail stores in Maryland and the District of Columbia through Bacchus Importers, LTD.

Pearousia is a very special collaboration between Fabbioli Cellars and Catoctin Creek. "Doug Fabbioli, owner and vintner at Fabbioli Cellars, produced a lovely pear wine, and we distilled it into brandy," says Scott Harris, founder of Catoctin Creek. "After being casked in oak for a time, this pear brandy has emerged as a truly lovely and unique offering, and our first fruit spirit."

Pearousia is an extremely limited release local pear brandy, produced from seasonal fruit, and will be sold in 375 ml bottles so that it is accessible to more people. Only 600 bottles will be made this season, just in time for Christmas and Hanukkah.

In Virginia, use Virginia ABC ordering code 952556 to order by the bottle or the case. In Maryland or the District of Columbia, contact your local retailer. Suggested retail price $42.30 per bottle, 40% ABV, 375 ml.
