The Fruit & Terroir
Our apricot rakija is made from locally harvested apricots rich in natural sugars and esters. Intensely aromatic and full of flavour, these apricots are perfectly suited for crafting a rakija with depth, complexity, and remarkable character.
Varietals
Our varieties include carefully selected premium apricots such as the Hungarian apricot. Harvesting at the peak of ripeness ensures the fruit is full of sugars, fragrance, and bursting with jam like flavour. It is at this premium stage that the fruit imparts a luxurious aroma, bringing a full bodied apricot richness to our rakija.
A crosscut of an apricot tree from our orchard
No Kulina orchard is complete without at least one apricot tree, and this sweet fruit was traditionally distilled into rakija only after there was enough jam for preservation. Apricot trees live on average up to 30 years; their trunks are sturdy yet delicate, and even in our ideal conditions, they require special care, especially during winter.
Distillation
Through meticulous double distillation, we isolate only the finest and most aromatic fraction, the “heart” of the distillate. Any unwanted compounds are expertly removed, yielding a rakija of exceptional purity and rich, full bodied flavour that captures the vivid essence of ripe apricot.
Unaged Apricot Character
This rakija delivers a vibrant expression of apricot jam, delicately layered with floral undertones. Its natural sweetness and intense aroma give it remarkable versatility, equally suited for pairing with desserts or savouring on its own. The palate is rich, aromatic, and elegantly rounded.
Matured in lightly charred Slavonian oak barrels, Korijen Apricot Barrique gains depth and structure while retaining the vibrant character of the apricot fruit. Maturation reveals primary notes of baked apricot, followed by secondary mild woody tones, and tertiary notes of honey, vanilla, and spices.
This golden straw-colored rakija of silky texture gently envelops the palate with the long-lasting flavor of perfectly ripe apricot. It is ideal for serving with cheeses and desserts, offering a sophisticated and layered tasting experience.
