The Rochelt Wachauer Marille 2018, 50% vol., 0.35 l, is an exclusive apricot brandy from the long-established Rochelt distillery in Tyrol, renowned for its uncompromising commitment to quality and decades of experience in producing the finest spirits. Only fully ripe, aromatic apricots from the Wachau – a region in Lower Austria renowned worldwide for its particularly fruit-rich apricots – are used for this brandy.

The fruit is harvested by hand, and only healthy, fully ripe fruit is used. Following a gentle, natural fermentation without the addition of sugar or flavourings, the mash is double-distilled in small copper stills. The brandy is then matured for several years in open-pored glass demijohns, during which time it develops its exceptional smoothness and depth. The 2018 vintage represents a harvest with ideal ripening conditions, which is reflected in a particularly intense fruit character.

Bottled at a robust 50% ABV, this spirit is powerful yet harmonious and elegant. It is delivered in an elegant wooden box, which emphasises the artisanal character and collector’s value of this bottling.
