St Agnes

Distilleries & Barrel Halls

Dr William Angove established a distillery in Renmark in 1910. His plan was to make a plain spirit for fortifying wine. In 1925, William’s son Carl decided to create a new style of Australian brandy that was lighter and more delicate than anything previously produced. That same year, Carl travelled to Cognac to learn from the world’s best (and bring some of it back to South Australia).

His journey became St Agnes Distillery’s journey. His passion to do one thing brilliantly became their passion. His ambition to show the world another face of Australian produce excellence continues. His ultimate purpose to create an Australian spirit of iconic world standard and a uniquely Australian expression of brandy became their purpose.

Making brandy is a craft that relies on experience and patience, time, and age. For every year since 1925, the St Agnes Distillery and Barrel Halls have been carefully and characterfully handcrafting brandy that is a testament to the rewards of time, age, ambition, and craft. In all that time, just five Master Distillers have been learning, preserving, and passing down that craft.
