Distillery Feichtner - Schwoich

Distillery on Our Farm

Our farm holds the distillation rights granted by Maria Theresa. Thus, Sepp has made the production of fine spirits his great passion alongside music. He acquired his expertise through international seminars and courses, as well as through many years of distilling experience.

Our farm is nestled within extensive orchards. In these meadow orchards, our fruit thrives, including the old apple variety "Berner Rose," wild stone fruit known as "Pfraun," and newer, juicy pear varieties. The soil composition, warm days, and cool autumn nights give our fruits their distinctive and characteristic aroma, which defines the character of our spirits. Once our fruit reaches optimal ripeness, the art of mashing begins. Only the best, clean fruit is used for processing. Fermentation is controlled and temperature-regulated. For stone fruit, care is taken to ensure the pits remain intact during mashing.

Great importance is placed on the gentle distillation of the mash. The clean separation of the heads and tails is a quality criterion that Sepp Feichtner holds dear and always keeps in mind. Our fine spirits are brought to drinking strength with the best spring water from Schwoich and aged in stainless steel or glass containers, where they achieve perfection in peace. The optimal drinking temperature for our spirits is between 16 and 18 degrees Celsius (room temperature).

Distilling spirits remains a timeless art that combines expert knowledge with experience and intuition. With our column still, we produce excellent fine spirits with great care and skill, which have already received various awards and accolades.

You are welcome to visit our distillery and see the quality of our fine spirits for yourself. Our fine spirits can be tasted in the cozy tasting room by the open fireplace.
