78° Australian Vodka

78° Australian Vodka represents Adelaide Hills Distillery's commitment to crafting a spirit that tells the story of its terroir. Rather than pursuing neutral anonymity, the distillery deliberately chose to infuse character into their vodka by sourcing grape marc—the skins, seeds, and other byproducts from local winemaking—from the surrounding Adelaide Hills region, one of the world's premier wine and fruit-growing areas. This sustainable approach gives the waste material from wine production a second life while creating a distinctly Australian expression. The vodka is rectified from this grape marc and charcoal filtered to ensure purity while retaining subtle regional characteristics. In 2023, 78° Australian Vodka earned recognition as Best Australian Vodka at the Dan Murphy's Decoded Spirit Awards, validating the distillery's unconventional approach to vodka production and their philosophy that even a spirit championing neutrality can express genuine character and provenance.
