Bridgeland Distillery is changing the way the world thinks about brandy by making single-varietal brandy from high-quality wine grapes. Brandy is essentially distilled wine, and while over 99% of the world’s brandy is made from a blend of grapes not intended to make a quality wine, Bridgeland Distillery chose to make theirs differently.
Freshly pressed Moscato grapes from California vineyards, arrives in Bridgeland where our wine fermentation is started immediately! Fermentation at a low temperature continues for 4-6 weeks to preserve the most of the Moscato Signature aroma and flavours!
