Where it all began
While our still was commissioned in 2016, the real
story began in the Huon Valley in the mid 1800’s with
ex-convict and resourceful character, Charles Oates…
ORCHARD TO BOTTLE
It’s Charles’ descendants who continue to
grow apples throughout the Huon Valley today.
Our uniquely crafted spirits are produced with these apples,
that are pressed, fermented, distilled and aged on the farm.
CHARLES OATES
Apple spirit
The purest aromatic expression

POMMEAU
A complex, well-structured, generous liqueur – inspired by North-West France.

Each barrel is aged for over four years to fully develop into our finest Apple Spirit.
