Republic of Fremantle Distillery
Our home in Fremantle, Western Australia sits at the intersection of maritime history and modern creativity, defined by its community of independent spirits. These values are reflected in the way we approach our work, with a nod to those who came before us and an eye firmly on the future.
We have been all in from day one, shunning convention to create spirits from scratch. Where others opt for the status quo, we choose to create something distinctive – a pure and smooth grape based spirit that carries the unique flavour of Western Australian wine.
We spent a lot of time experimenting with different varieties of grapes in the early days, seeking out the best style that has the perfect balance of flavour, acidity and sugar. Our search led us to the tropical and citrusy Verdelho. We began working with the local vintners to ensure our Verdelho is grown with the perfect balance of flavour and natural sugars, to grow the ideal grape for our pure base spirit.
