Vinjak(Our the best wine brandy) is a strong alcoholic drink obtained by distilling wine with or without lees into a distillate that matures in an oak barrel or cask after distillation. As a finished product, wine brandy must contain at least 37.5% vol. alcohol. Most often it is a drink with 40% vol.
It is produced in the same way as French cognac.

What grape varieties

In general, native grape varieties are suitable for the production of quality wine brandy. In our region, these would be Smederevka, Rkaciteli and Župljanka. These are varieties that give wines with a neutral aroma and produce two or more wagons of grapes per hectare and have a high acid content. Red grape varieties are not the most suitable for wine brandy.

What equipment

When it comes to wine distillation apparatus for the production of vinjak, the most famous are the so-called distillation apparatus. of the Charente type, named after the French department of Charente, where the town of Cognac is located, after which their cognac was named.
With us, the most suitable devices are those with a deep bottom and a bottom thickness of at least 6 mm.
