Wild is noble

One of the top addresses for very special brandies is the Graf family's distillery in St. Kathrein am Offenegg. Daniela and Michael Graf specialize in distillates made from berries, wild fruits and old pome fruit varieties. The brandies made from rowan berries, known locally as "rowan berries", are a particular specialty. The Graf family's efforts to achieve outstanding quality have already been recognized.

  • Located directly on the Vogelbeer Panorama Trail
