WHATwe do

Authentic brandy from pure fruit

We have devoted ourselves to the art of transforming the finest fruits available into exquisite fruit brandy. Our fruit is harvested at maximum ripeness and left to ferment naturally. Once it has been gently distilled twice, the brandy matures slowly over several years in order to bring the full flavor of the fruit to its purest form. That is the essence of traditional fruit brandy from Tyrol.

Distiller’s Reserve –
outstanding vintages

Just as every harvest is unique, so is every variety and every vintage. In some years nature blesses us with exceptional raw materials for outstanding fruit brandy. This best of the best forms the basis for our Distiller’s Reserve.

These brandies are left to mature for more than ten years, longer than our other varieties. They are kept stronger in alcohol to reflect a truly exceptional vintage – a unique drinking experience for fruit brandy enthusiasts.

For our Distiller’s Reserve range we have created a special stopper decorated by hand with more than 400 Swarovski crystals. The Distiller’s Reserve is therefore an exclusive rarity in both taste and appearance. Our Distiller’s Reserve fruit brandies come with two tasting glasses designed to accentuate the character of these outstanding vintages.

The right brandy in the right glass – the Rochelt fruit brandy glass

Because the shape of a glass influences the taste of its contents, we have developed our own tasting glass. Specially designed for our strong and fruity brandy, it has a tulip-like form and holds just 2cl. Our fruit brandies are so rich in flavor and aroma that they offer an exquisite drinking experience even in small quantities.

Each unique glass is handmade by local glass artist Patrik Winkler in his workshop in Kufstein, Tyrol.

Exquisite fruit brandy on the go – the Rochelt glass pocket flask

The glass pocket flask has the same characteristic shape and color as the full-sized brandy bottle but is smaller in size and has a slight curve that allows it to be easily carried in a trouser or jacket pocket. The refillable flask holds 100ml and is available in ten different fruit brandy varieties.
