History

Gößwein Distillery is a traditional family-owned business with nearly 100 years of history. As early as 1927, Edgar Gößwein began producing noble distillates from ripe fruits. Today the company is run by son Georg and, in the third generation, by daughter Sandra, and production takes place in the Franconian countryside of Thüngersheim. As a founding member of Vereinigung Fränkischer Edelbrenner e.V. (1994), Gößwein actively promotes the Edelbrand culture. The distillery leans on a philosophy of honest, pure natural products without added sugar or aroma compounds, and decades of experience are carried through the entire range.

Production / Manufacturing

To create outstanding spirits, Gößwein uses exclusively Franconian fruits of the highest quality from their own farm and selected suppliers, whose fruits, through the Franconian climate, provide an extraordinary development of flavor. To achieve finesse, the distillates are stored in old, breathable Steingut containers for up to four years. As a natural part of the aging process, around 1% of the alcohol disappears each year, contributing to the aroma's fullness.

Products / Whisky Series

The distillery produces whisky under the CORVILL brand, including: - CORVILL Single Malt Whisky - CORVILL Single Grain Whisky These whisky products were recognized as Gold in the Bayern Brand Prämierung 2024 (for both Single Malt and Single Grain) and were also mentioned as Whisky (Single Malt Whisky) and Whisky (Single Grain Whisky) in Bayern Brand Prämierung 2022. A hallmark of the range is also a wide variety of other product categories such as Brandies & Spirits, Cigar Brandies and Noble Liqueurs, all based on the fruit's natural character and long maturation in stoneware vessels.
