Invivo Spirits – The Spirit of Vienna
Invivo Spirits processes local products from its own orchard in Vienna Simmering and works together with the Viennese market gardeners. We are an environmentally friendly company, specialized in regional production of high quality noble distillates.
The company was built up by the two daughters Victoria and Stephanie Felser of the founder and trained distiller Aco Nijemcevic and sold to the investor group International Spirits in June 2021.
Invivo Spirits’ guiding principles are not limited to saving time or money, but about refining existing fruits and vegetables when they are ready to harvest. Production techniques include vacuum distillation as a standard process and a very aroma-friendly fermentation. This is very unusual and rarely found in the market.
We produce small production quantities, 30 varieties of noble brandies and spirits that can only be offered seasonally.
In addition to our traditional line of fine distillates, we produced our first gin, Donauweibchen, in 2016. Our Donauweibchen “Small-Batch Gin” captivates with its unique bouquet and will surely lead to a breakthrough in the history of Viennese Gins! We know what you think … “What can be so special about this gin?”
Our production techniques make our Donauweibchen Gin unique. Juniper berries are collected only when ripe and processed immediately. Rosehips, orange, grapefruit and cardamom are blended with other exotic botanicals, but hey, we all have some secrets, right?
We offer the most harmonious gin you’ve ever tasted, full of fresh fruit flavor and endless persistence. This is achieved with percolation in stoneware instead of just a traditional maceration. The desired flavor is preserved and the bitter tannins cannot develop. Danube female is distilled exclusively only in vacuum equipment, which does not decompose the natural flavors. This is an elaborate and complex process that also takes longer, as you can taste, the dedication is worth it….
We explicitly recommend you to take a look at our website www.invivospirits.com and the attached catalog to get to know our products! Exquisite flavors, vegetable spirits, rare fruits and various other distillates.
