Great news for our spirit lovers!

The 'New Zealand Spirit Awards 2024' have just judged our Johanneshof Grape Brandy EDELBRAND  'Best New Zealand Grape Brandy' and third place in the Brandy & Cognac category.

We have been awarded Bronze in this competition before and are thrilled to be recognized for our dedication to New Zealand spirits. For 34 years we’ve been crafting our own grape brandy and other spirits.

Johanneshof ‚EDELBRAND‘ is the finest grape brandy blended in the ‚Solera‘ method, combing our oldest vintages going back more than 30 years. Crafted from fermented grapes, double distilled and aged for three decades to develop from the purest essence to the smoothest, most natural spirit.

This year the NZ Spirits Awards 2024 had 480 entries into the blind tasting and award categories, with 317 from New Zealand and 163 from overseas. A team of 22 judges blind tasted and assessed throughout 16 categories.

Judges commented "The standard of entries this year was exceptionally high... The Spirits awards offer a special opportunity to highlight the quality of offerings available (in NZ), celebrating both the ingenuity and care of craft behind the spirits... Domestic products get the chance to be recognised against some of world’s best."

Edelbrand is the perfect antidote to our current weather and we invite you to try it 🥃
