Technology
Our production is based on modern processes, decades of experience, and complete control of every step – from fruit reception to the final bottling of the product. All phases are carried out in accordance with internal quality standards and principles of good manufacturing practice (GMP).
01
Selection and Preparation of Fruit
Production begins with strictly controlled raw material selection. We use fruit from our own orchards and trusted domestic growers.
Only fully ripe and healthy fruit proceeds further – each piece is visually and chemically inspected before processing.
This ensures the preservation of varietal characteristics and stable quality of the future distillates.
After reception, the fruit is sorted, washed, and crushed according to the specific characteristics of each variety.
The goal is simple: To preserve natural aromas and the chemical balance that form the foundation of every premium distillate.

Processing and Preparation for Fermentation
03
Fermentation
Fermentation takes place under controlled conditions, ensuring an even process and complete conversion of sugars into alcohol.
During fermentation, we preserve and enhance the primary aromas that originate from the fruit itself – the aromas that give each brandy its distinctive character.
The process is monitored daily, both analytically and technologically, to ensure stable and consistent quality.
04
Distillation
Distillation is carried out on modern column stills, allowing precise control of temperature and vapor flow at every stage.
This results in a crystal-clear distillate that retains its authentic fruity character.
Each batch is distilled separately, under constant supervision of the technologist and strict quality control.
After distillation, the spirits mature under conditions tailored to the type of distillate and planned aging duration.
During maturation, flavor and aroma become rounded and harmonious, forming a lasting sensory profile.
Before bottling, each batch undergoes standard quality control.
05
Maturation
06
Bottling and Packaging
Once the distillate reaches its desired character, the final step follows – bottling.
The process takes place in a controlled environment, with precise dosing, sealing, labeling, and marking of each batch,
ensuring complete traceability and authenticity.
The entire process is conducted under constant supervision of the expert team,
in accordance with quality management and food safety systems.
Every phase is documented and traceable – because only in this way can we guarantee that every bottle bears the signature of Podrum Palić 1896.
