The profile

Orchards by Lake Palić

Podrum Palić is an institution with over 125 years of history in Vojvodina; the Baraba brand refers to its founding year of 1896. After years of inactivity, a thorough renovation began in 2017, and the distillery complex was completely rebuilt in 2019. Today, the facility covers 11'000 square metres, with two Cadalpe stills, around 700'000 litres of stainless steel tank capacity and 70'000 litres of wooden barrel storage.

The raw materials come from estate orchards on 100 hectares of prime soil around Lake Palić; the fruit is hand-picked, processed immediately and fermented exclusively with natural yeasts at low temperatures.

A team of fruit growers, technologists and master distillers works under the leadership of Aleksandar Runčev. In 2023, Podrum Palić received the trophy for the world’s best fruit spirit producer at the IWSC in London; the Baraba range collected ten medals over two competition years, while Lozovača received Outstanding Gold in 2023 with 99 points and a category trophy.
