What is wine distillate?

Wine distillate is a high-purity alcohol obtained through the careful distillation of fermented grape juice. Unlike neutral alcohols, wine distillate retains subtle aromatic compounds from the original grapes, making it a popular choice for premium spirits and high-end food applications. It's typically colourless and smooth, with a nuanced flavour profile that varies depending on the grape variety and distillation process.

This versatile spirit is valued not only for its sensory qualities but also for its natural origin and traceability, especially when produced under organic or sustainably certified conditions.

Applications

Wine distillate is a multi-functional product used across several industries:

Brandy production

Wine distillate is the base for brandy, offering the fruity depth and complexity expected in high-quality aged spirits.

Flavouring and food applications

Its smooth taste enhances liqueurs, gourmet sauces, chocolate fillings, and fruit preserves.

Cosmetic and fragrance industries

Its purity and grape-based origin make it ideal for use in fine perfumes, skincare products, and natural cosmetics.

Brandy vs Wine Distillate

All brandy is made from wine distillate, but not all wine distillate becomes brandy. Wine distillate is unaged alcohol distilled from fermented wine, typically used as a neutral-to-fruity base for spirits or flavour solutions. 

Brandy, by contrast, is aged in wooden barrels, developing a richer, oaky, and more complex profile. For a versatile and premium-quality foundation, wine distillate is an ideal choice.
