Hochstrasser
In Mooskirchen in Styria, Hochstrasser has distilled since 1930—now in its fourth generation. The house represents Austrian schnapps and fruit brandies shaped by clean technique, patience and a clear sense of craft.
Fully ripe local fruit is fermented under control and distilled slowly in copper stills; heads and tails are cut with precision so only the heart runs on. Maturation in glass or wood, careful proofing with spring water and extended resting periods refine texture and structure. Visitors can trace this path in the Edelbrand experience world, from raw material to final blend.
Hochstrasser’s ‘Edelbrand’ style is not about show, but about authenticity: Styria as a source of fruit, and distillation as a quiet discipline—a premium portfolio built for those who value purity and artisanal authority.Hochstrasser
