Nestled amongst orchards and vineyards lies the historic distillery of the Hödl Hof, where fine spirits have been produced for generations in accordance with the old Styrian tradition. The quality of the spirits is guaranteed by the use of a 300-litre rough distillation still and a 200-litre fine distillation still, both made of pure copper. The estate’s own fruit is transported directly from the orchards to the fermentation cellars, where it is gently fermented under temperature-controlled conditions. Following the double distillation process, which reflects the essence of the traditional Styrian art of distilling, only the high-proof ‘heart’ of the spirit is extracted. This is then matured in wood, glass or stainless steel to perfect its character.

A particular highlight is the Styrian Obstler, in which apples and pears are traditionally mashed and fermented together. The region’s characteristic cider pears give the Obstler its mild fruitiness and a well-balanced flavour. The fruit comes from the region’s orchard meadows as well as from the Hödl Hof’s own orchard – a true tribute to Styrian craftsmanship and a love of nature.
