What defines a premium spirit is decided long before the still. And once again after.

One hundred percent, not thirty

Thirty percent fruit is enough for a schnapps, ten percent for a spirit, with the rest being ethyl alcohol. For a fine brandy, it is one hundred percent. This sounds like a formality, but it is a fundamental decision. Alois Gölles therefore co-founded the association Quinta Essentia, which stipulates exactly this.

The fruit, the fruit, and again the fruit

That is the third of the ten rules followed during distillation in Riegersburg. The first requires fruit so clean that you would be happy to eat it yourself. The fourth states: nothing for a long time, only then considerations regarding processing. Eighteen kilos of perry pears yield one liter of brandy.

It is double-distilled.

First the rough distillation for three to four hours, then the fine distillation for four to six. The foreshots and feints are separated; only the heart is stored. In the glass demijohn, the spirit remains clear; in the oak barrel, it turns brown. No sweetening, no rounding off, no flavoring.

That's how we drink it

Not too cold, 15 to 20 degrees, in a tall, tulip-shaped glass. Ice robs the nose of the aromas, and those are exactly the point. And a rule that hardly anyone knows: after transport, give a bottle two to three weeks of rest. The spirit settles down, and the aromas come together.

Frequently asked questions about our spirits

Ein Edelbrand besteht zu hundert Prozent aus der Frucht. Bei einem Schnaps genügen dreißig Prozent, bei einem Geist zehn, der Rest ist Ethylalkohol. Gölles macht ausschließlich Edelbrände.

Nein. Weder Zucker noch Aromastoffe noch Zusatzstoffe noch fremder Alkohol. Die Süße, die man schmeckt, kommt aus der Frucht.

Der erste Durchgang ergibt den Raubrand, der zweite trennt Vorlauf und Nachlauf sauber ab. Nur das Herzstück mit rund 70 Prozent wird eingelagert.

Die Klaren ein bis zwei Jahre im Glasballon, die Fassgereiften mindestens acht Jahre im Eichenfass. Die XA Raritäten liegen zwei Jahrzehnte und länger.

Das hängt von der Sorte ab. Für einen Liter Saubirnenbrand werden achtzehn Kilo Früchte gebraucht.

Bei 15 bis 20 Grad, also nicht gekühlt. Kälte verschließt die Aromen, und die sind der eigentliche Inhalt.

Ein hohes, tulpenförmiges Glas. Es bündelt den Duft, statt ihn davonziehen zu lassen.

Unbegrenzt, wenn die Flasche stehend, kühl und dunkel gelagert wird. Nach dem Transport lohnen sich zwei bis drei Wochen Ruhe, bevor man öffnet.
