Hans Reisetbauer, Rowanberry Eau de Vie, NV (1.5L)

Spirit from Austria

You don’t see a lot of rowanberry spirits—and certainly not in 1.5L magnums. But Hans Reisetbauer isn’t your average distiller. He’s one of Austria’s true eau de vie masters, turning rare fruit into pure, expressive spirits with near-obsessive precision.

Rowanberries (aka mountain ash) are tiny, bitter, and a pain to work with. But distilled by Reisetbauer, they become something wild and compelling: alpine herbs, citrus zest, tart red fruit, and a slight nuttiness, all delivered in a bone-dry, crystal-clear frame. No sugar, no aging—just the essence of the fruit, fermented and slowly distilled with laser focus.

The magnum format is a total unicorn—perfect for collectors, spirits geeks, or anyone looking to pour something no one else at the table has tried. Serve chilled after a meal or alongside Alpine cheeses and charcuterie for a next-level pairing.

More about Hans Reisetbauer

Hans Reisetbauer planted his first orchard in 1990 on his family's farm in Axberg, Austria, with one big ambition: to make world-class fruit spirits. His first still followed in 1994, and today the certified organic farm has around 17,000 Williams pear trees and 7,000 apple trees feeding a remarkable range of eaux-de-vie. He later turned estate-grown organic grain into Blue Gin, Axberg Vodka and single malt whisky. In 2019 the distillery was rebuilt as an energy self-sufficient facility with precision-controlled stills.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What Skurnik Wines has to say about this wine:

Rowanberry eau-de-vie produced by Hans Reisetbauer in Axberg, Austria

Distilled from wild-harvested rowanberries sourced from the Mühlviertel region of upper Austria at over 700 meters above sea level, as well as from the Czech Republic

Rowanberries are harvested in autumn and undergo a 12-day fermentation at 18.5 °C (65 °F)

Distilled twice in a Christian Carl copper pot still

Rested for a minimum of 3 years in stainless steel

Earthy and floral with notes of cherry, almond, angelica root, and horseradish with faint allspice on the nose; the palate is elegant and refined but punchy, with cherry, violet, and orange blossom on a very floral finish; vaguely reminiscent of kirshwasser

41.5% ABV

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Serve chilled in a small glass after a meal. Pair with alpine cheeses and charcuterie, cured trout, smoked fish, or a bowl of fresh berries.

Tasting Profile

Alpine herbs, citrus zest, tart red fruit and a slight nuttiness. Light-bodied and completely dry, with a bitter-edged purity and a long, clean, mountain-air finish.
