The history of our distillery begins in the 1970s in a garage in Tyrol with Günter Rochelt’s vision of creating an outstanding fruit brandy. Fifty years later, we continue to be driven by this pursuit of perfection and are proud that Rochelt has become synonymous with fruit brandy distillates of the very highest quality.
The fascination of making fruit brandy brought son-in-law Alexander Rainer to the distillery in 2003. He spent the first six years working alongside his father-in-law Günter Rochelt, learning the art of distilling from a master craftsman, before taking over the running of the business.
Today he works closely with Günter's wife, Daniela, and the three Rochelt daughters Julia, Annia and Teresa.
Even if today our brandies can be enjoyed in select international restaurants, the Rochelt distillery has remained a family-run business where quality outweighs quantity.
"Step by step, we want to pursue the path our father set out on all those years ago."Teresa Rochelt
