Uncompromising quality from Rheinhessen since 1995 – noble distillates that match the champagne and gin world of polo
The Strauch Distillery from Osthofen in Rheinhessen has stood for uncompromising quality since 1995: noble distillates from regional grape varieties that rank among the greatest brandies in the world. With Vinyac, Barrignac and Cigarrignac – and a new creation – «Feel the Spirit of Wine» fits perfectly into the champagne and gin world of the Ascona Polo Cup.
Polo and pleasure go together. Where elegance, precision, and an appreciation for the special moment meet, exceptional distillates also unfold their full effect. This is precisely where the Strauch Distillery brings its "Spirit of Wine" into play.
Since 1995: one family, one vision
In 1995, the story of these special distillates began: Heinrich, Heinfried, Doris, and Rudolf Strauch – alongside their winery in the Wonnegau region, in the heart of Rheinhessen – jointly founded the "Kurfürst von Dalberg Strauch Distillery". From the wines of their own region, something independent was to be created: not a copy, but a German distillate with an unmistakable character.
The mission: uncompromising quality
"Our motto was to produce uncompromisingly highest quality; our goal: to create an independent, high-quality German product from regional grape varieties that ranks among the greatest spirits in the world and corresponds to the new lifestyle." – the mission of the Strauch Distillery
This standard shapes every bottle to this day. The aging, time, and storage of the spirits are incomparable – and are refined with a touch of positive energy in the Strauch pyramid.
Feel the Spirit: the trio in the "Little Black Dress"
Feel the Spirit – a trio in the "Little Black Dress" for unforgettable moments. Only the excellent distillates from Strauch can achieve this. Whether at the hotel bar, on a cruise, on the sidelines of the Ascona Polo Cup, or at home: the focus is always on the perfect experience. The product line comprises three distinct characters:
- Vinyac – the bright, fruity introduction
- Barrignac – the barrel-aged classic
- Cigarrignac – the strong companion for special moments
New: "Don't call me Port, call me ..."
This year, the Strauch Distillery is surprising us with a new creation. The tongue-in-cheek name "Call me not Port, call me ..." says it all: as with the other spirits, a great distillate does not need a foreign name. This excellent creation combines the best properties of various grape varieties into a unique taste experience. Ideal for special occasions or for a glass in a cozy group - a new dimension of the "Spirit of Wine" 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 as much as the game itself. With its combination of artisanal precision, aging, and style, Strauch Destillerie fits seamlessly into this experience – and makes special moments at Lake Maggiore just a little bit more special.
