A Centuries-Old Tradition


Schnapps was already being distilled in Germany and France in the 14th century. At that time, it was still thought to help against the plague.


In the 15th and 16th centuries, Catholic monks refined the recipes and in 1512 the Strasbourg doctor Hieronymus Brunschwig wrote his book on distillation (großes Destillierbuch).


Since that time, recipes and techniques have been further refined so that there is now an almost infinite variety of brandies made from every conceivable type of fruit.


This tradition is our aspiration and we are passionate about producing these wonderful recipes in Australia.

Best Technology for Best Results

We attach great importance to authentic products, which is why all the elements in our production process are from Australia, with the exception of the still.

In order to be able to distil the complex recipes behind our exclusive products in the best possible way, we have imported our still from Austria. This allows us to benefit from centuries of experience in European distilling technology. 
This still is used to train the best distillers at the University of Budapest's Faculty of Agriculture.


Here is a picture of our trainer at a seminar at the University of Budapest.
