Dirndl brandy from South Tyrol

Dirndl brandy from South Tyrol is a refined fruit spirit distilled exclusively from fully ripe cornelian cherries, known locally as Dirndl, primarily sourced from the upper Pielach Valley in Lower Austria.

 The hand-harvested fruit undergoes careful fermentation and matures for at least six months in glass or steel, occasionally with brief wood aging. Its aroma reveals a complex bouquet of nutty marzipan, floral elderflower, and red clover nectar, enriched by notes of honey spice, cocoa, mint, and subtle earthy hints reminiscent of hay and roasted chestnut.

 On the palate, it balances gentle sweetness—marzipan, honeyed fruit, and almond richness—with fresh herbal undertones and layered spices such as cocoa and caraway. The finish is exceptionally long, elegant, and mildly drying, making this premium Edelbrand an excellent choice for sipping neat after dinner to fully appreciate its floral, nutty, and honeyed character.
