About Us

MORE ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS

PROCESS

The Mampoer and Witblits are completely pure, with no additives or added sugar. Our liqueurs, shooters, and gin are crafted exclusively from the Mampoer and Witblits distilled in our copper pot stills, resulting in products of remarkably high quality.

The art of distilling fruit and grapes has been passed down from one generation to the next, enabling Schoemanati to consistently produce exceptional products since 1844. Our entire distilling process is natural and relies solely on traditional copper distilling kettles.

Only the highest-quality fruits are selected for this process. On average, it takes about 100kg of peaches to produce 1 litre of 52% Mampoer, depending on the sweetness of the fruit. The availability and variety of fruits are subject to seasonal supply and quality.
