Charles Reuben Estate is a vineyard and distillery in the well known Coal River Valley wine region. CRE is a family run business concentrating on the production of premium wines and spirits - especially brandy and fruit brandies from locally grown fruit where possible. Our fruit brandies (or eau de vie or aqua vitae) are a staple in any pantry across Europe.
These aqua vitae have many uses from cooking and baking to digestive and cocktail. Fruit brandies can also be used instead of Gin. Eau de vie can taste similar to some flavoured gins - just omitting the Juniper berry with its dominant flavour.
