Legend says the first ever grappa was made by a Roman soldier using stolen equipment in 2nd century Italy; but our favourite tales of clandestine grappa making come from the Nonnis of Melbourne. Unable to buy it, they made it - turning their bathrooms and backyards into bootleg grappa labs; defying laws and liquor stores to keep their legacy alive.

Inspired by this rebellious spirit, we took a beloved Australian wine and distilled it into a drink our Nonnis would be proud to call grappa.

Made in the style of Italian Grappa.

BRONZE MEDAL WINNER - 2024 AUSTRALIAN DISTILLED SPIRIT AWARDS - “FRUIT INFUSED SPIRIT”

It seems like every second house in the inner west of Melbourne has a lemon tree in the backyard, many of them planted generations ago by European migrants bringing with them tastes of home.

For us this drink reminds us of all the backyard veggie gardens and the people tending them, handing down their homemade traditions.

Made like traditional limoncello, but with our own technique for distilling lemon juice, this is definitely a spirit and not a liqueur.

Infused with lemon peels (as Nonna instructed) this is a spirit that can brighten your day and your drink.

Pleasant citrusy nose, bold, with a great fresh and zesty lemon flavour.

Perfect in a spritz, a French martini or straight from the freezer neat.

Batch #14 Details: 500mL. 42% alcohol content. serves 16 standard drinks.

1880’s Melbournians were told to give up alcohol and drink coffee at a Melbourne coffee palaces.

While we no longer have to choose between coffee or alcohol, the Melbourne coffee culture was born. From Greek social clubs to the takeaway cups in commuters hands, coffee is a part of Melbournes DNA.

Our second chapter started with a batch brew process and has been distilled to be a smooth spirit that’s perfect for sipping. The first clear warm taste is supported by soft notes of orange, apple and caramel that came directly from the coffee it was made with. Thanks to the distilling process this one is low to no caffeine. Whether you like a short nip or a long drink this bottle is a taste of Melbournes coffee with a kick.

Made in partnership with Rumble Coffee Roasters.

Perfect to use wherever you use vodka and is our favourite twist to a vodka, soda and a slice of lemon.
