The art of reduction. The best recipes are written by nature. That is why our fruit brandy is made from one ingredient only: fruit. Combined with passion, knowledge, patience, care and attention to detail, we produce fruit brandy of the very highest quality without compromises.
Fine brandy results only from fine fruit. That is why we apply exacting standards in the choice of our raw material. The fruit we use is sourced from areas where the conditions are ideal for that specific variety to grow and ripen to perfection.
We have known most of our fruit growers for many years and share a common passion for the finest quality. That way we know where our fruit comes from and who is behind it.
The art of transformation. After the fruit has been mashed and placed into special vats, the natural yeast on the fruit’s skin begins within just a few hours to transform fruit sugar into alcohol.
This process could be accelerated using artificial yeast, but that would be contrary to our principles. Instead, we leave the mash to ferment in a 100% natural way. Only then are we able to fully preserve the pure fruit flavor.
The art of concentration. Once fermented, the mash is twice distilled in copper pot stills following an old Tyrolean tradition.
This process of transforming the fermented mash into fruit brandy takes time and must be carried out as slowly and gently as possible. It is this step which determines if the best mash will produce an outstanding brandy. To produce one liter of fruit brandy we use up to 80kg (175 pounds) of fruit.
The art of waiting. We give our brandies time. Lots of time. Because we know that patience is the key to a fine fruit brandy. Our distillates are left to mature in glass balloons for up to ten years, giving the flavors the chance to fuse with the alcohol and create a delicious balance. That is how we are able to produce fruit brandies which are both strong in alcohol and smooth in taste.
"The quality of a distillate is partly a result of its careful maturation, the age of a fruit brandy."Annia Rainer-Rochelt
