Tasting Notes

This isn't just apple brandy - it's orchard soul, distilled and matured. Crafted from cider apples grown in the Adelaide Hills and aged in small oak, this bottle channels Norman traditions with an Aussie accent. Lobo's Apple Brandy is thoughtful, textured, and quietly powerful.

 

In the glass, it glows a soft amber - like dusk settling over a cold-climate orchard. The nose is layered and nostalgic: baked apple, dried hay, toffee brittle, and a flash of cinnamon bark. There's a faint floral lift - apple blossom in late afternoon sun.

 

On the palate, it begins supple and warming. Stewed apple and vanilla cream lead, then oak spice and roasted almond bring grip. There's a flicker of dry cider sharpness at the core - a nod to its origins - balanced by butterscotch, honeycomb, and a thread of leather and clove.

 

Mid-palate reveals texture and poise. A flick of dried fruit and a breath of old barrel add depth without excess.

 

The finish is medium-long, softly tannic, and gently spiced. It's the kind of brandy you sip slowly, after the table's been cleared and the fire’s been lit. Lobo has made a small miracle from apples and time.

Distillation & Provenance

Crafted only for our premium spirits

Distillation

Lobo Apple Brandy is produced from the orchard's own apple cider at the Lenswood estate in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. The cider is double-distilled in copper pot stills before being aged for a minimum of three years in French oak barrels — a maturation period that develops the soft apple fruit character of the base spirit into a brandy of depth and roundness. The French oak delivers vanilla, spice, and subtle tannins that complement the delicate fruit. Lobo Apple Brandy was awarded a place in Australia's Best Spirits Top 20. The use of the estate's own orchard apples provides a traceable, single-origin provenance from fruit to bottle. Bottled at 40.1% ABV.

Provenance

Lobo is an orchard-based spirits and cider producer located in Lenswood, in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia — a cool-climate region known for apple and pear orcharding. One of the founders is a fifth-generation Lenswood orchardist; the enterprise began with cider in 2008 before expanding into distilled spirits. Lobo's spirits range — the Apple Brandy and Djinn Gin — is built directly around the orchard's own fruit production, with apples providing the base for the brandy and orchard quince providing the signature botanical for the gin. The distillery is part of the South Australian Distillery Trail.

About this Spirits

South Australia

If you like Australian wine, then you probably like South Australia wine. The rich reds produced there put Australia on the wine-making map of the world. With over 40% of the countries vineyards, South Australia can rightfully call itself the wine state.

Wines are produced in several regions throughout the state, though many are naturally grouped together, like Barossa and Eden Valleys, only 15 minutes apart. They include such regions as Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Eden Valley, Coonawarra, Adelaide Hills, Kangaroo Island, Langhorne Creek, The Limestone Coast, McLaren Vale and Wrattonbully to name but a few!

Barossa Valley boasts some of the oldest vines in Australia dating back to 1843 and produces some of the world's finest Shiraz, whilst the 'terra rossa' soils of Coonawarra is most suited to producing outstanding Cabernet Sauvignons. If you're a fan of Riesling, Clare Valley is a great place to explore and for a Maritime climate not dissimilar to parts of the Italian coastline, seek out the wines from McLaren Vale.
