In 1993, business traveler Wolfgang Fichtl moved to the idyllic town of Bad Dürkheim near Mannheim in the Palatinate on Germany’s Wine Route. He settled in the small winery. In friendship with the winemaker, he distilled the first brandy. Since 2014 the company has been in the hands of Wolfgang’s children, along with their best friends.
