Their raspberries grow naturally in the wilds of the Carpathian forests, where they are harvested and sorted by hand once the small red berries rich in aroma and flavor have ripened to perfection. Never frozen, pasteurized or pureed, only fresh and flawless berries are processed in their distillery to ensure that none of the rich, intense flavor is lost before distilling.

What started in the 1970s as a vision pursued by Günter Rochelt in his garage is today a distillery headed by the second generation of the Rochelt family with the same ambitious goal as on day one: to make finest fruit brandy from Tyrol. At Rochelt we celebrate the Tyrolean tradition of distilling fruit brandy and create finest products for cultivated tastes. From selecting the fruit to distilling the mash and topping each bottle with one of our decorative stoppers, we believe in quality without compromise.
Because of the naturally low levels of sugar in wild raspberries, they need up to 60kg (130 pounds) of fruit to produce just one liter of brandy. Unlike many other raspberry spirits, their brandy is made from pure fruit only – they never add any sugar or alcohol to increase the yield. The result is wild raspberry at its best!
