Gölles

In Riegersburg in the Styrian Vulkanland, the Gölles family has been making fruit vinegar and fine spirits from fruit since 1979. Alois Gölles produced his first apple balsamic vinegar there in 1984; today, David Gölles and Katharina Fleck run the company. Whole fruit is used without concentrate or additives, often including heirloom varieties from the surrounding area. The balsamic vinegars mature for years in oak barrels, the fruit vinegars in stainless steel tanks, and each spirit is distilled twice in copper stills.

We offer apple, pear, and white balsamic vinegars, fruit vinegars ranging from raspberry and quince to tomato, and lemon balsamic, red and white wine vinegars, as well as fine spirits made from Williams pear, quince, and quince pear, apricot, and Zwetschke plum. We also offer an apricot liqueur and a fine bitter. Several vinegars and spirits are available in two sizes.
