Since 1995 uncompromising quality from Rheinhessen – fine distillates that fit into the world of champagne and polo
Strauch Destillerie from Osthofen in Rheinhessen has stood for uncompromising quality since 1995: fine distillates from regional grape varieties that rank among the world's best spirits. With Vinyac, Barrignac, and Cigarrignac – and a new creation – "Feel the Spirit of Wine" fits perfectly into the world of champagne and gin at the Ascona Polo Cup.
Polo and indulgence belong together. Where elegance, precision, and a sense for the special moment meet, exceptional distillates also unfold their full effect. This is precisely where Strauch Destillerie brings its "Spirit of Wine" into play.
Since 1995: one family, one vision
In the year 1995, the history of these special distillates began: Heinrich, Heinfried, Doris, and Rudolf Strauch founded – alongside their winery in Wonnegau, in the heart of Rheinhessen – together the "Kurfürst von Dalberg Strauch Destillerie". Out of the region's own wines, something entirely unique was to be created: not an imitation, but a German distillate with an unmistakable character.
The mission: uncompromising quality
"Our motto was to produce uncompromisingly the highest quality; our goal: to create an independent, exclusive German product from regional grape varieties that ranks among the world's greatest spirits and corresponds to the new lifestyle." – The Strauch Distillery's Mission
This standard characterizes every single bottle to this day. The maturation, time, and aging of the spirits are unique – and refined with a touch of positive energy in the Strauch pyramid.
Feel the Spirit: the trio in the "little black dress"
Feel the Spirit – en trio i «den lille sorte» for uforglemmelige øjeblikke. Det kan kun de fremragende destillater fra Strauch klare. Uanset om det er i hotelbarerne, på et krydstogtskib, ved sidelinjen af Ascona Polo Cup eller derhjemme: I centrum er der altid den perfekte oplevelse. Produktlinjen omfatter tre selvstændige karakterer:
- Vinyac – the bright, fruity introduction
- Barrignac – the barrel-aged classic
- Cigarrignac – the powerful companion for special moments
News: "Don't call me Port, call me…"
This year, Strauch Destillerie is surprising with a new creation. The twinkle-in-the-eye name "Nenn‘ mich nicht Port, nenn‘ mich …" speaks for itself: Just like with the other spirits, the rule here is that a great distillate does not need a foreign name. This exclusive creation combines the best characteristics of various grape varieties into a unique taste experience. Ideal for special occasions or a glass in a cozy setting – a new dimension of the "Spirit of Wine" just waiting to be discovered.
Perfect for the world of the Ascona Polo Cup
Champagne, gin, and fine spirits belong to the lifestyle of a polo weekend just like the game itself. With their combination of artisanal precision, maturation, and style, Strauch Destillerie fits seamlessly into this experience—and makes special moments at Lake Maggiore even more extraordinary.
