FROM WOiF GIN
Markus was in the middle of converting the old stables on his parents' farm into a tasting room, the Woifshöhle.
After a successful opening ceremony in September 2021, things moved quickly. WoifGin GmbH was founded at the beginning of December 2021, and two new gin varieties (LuXX and FiNK) were launched. Events were attended, marketing was pushed, the online shop was opened, events and tastings were held in the newly converted Woifshöhle, new partnerships were formed, and much more.
In the first months of 2022, a lot was accomplished for which there had been no time until then, and we prepared for new things again. Since February 2022, WOiF Gin, and since May 2022, also LuXX Gin, are organic certified. All ingredients come from controlled organic cultivation and are purchased from regional partner farms. Our FiNK is next in line. At "Das Goldene Stamperl", WOiF won a silver medal and LuXX a bronze medal in 2022. In addition, WOiF was chosen as one of the 10 best Austrian gins by a 16-member Falstaff jury.

From WOiF Gin
It all started a long time ago with the Peherstorfer family's so-called "Abfindungsrecht" (right to distil for personal consumption). This right was already used by grandfather J. Peherstorfer to produce fine brandies for personal use.
This passion, or rather curiosity, has led the Peherstorfer family to produce fine brandies to this day. Markus and father Johann Peherstorfer further refined their grandfather's skills in their hometown of Mistelbach near Großschönau and experimented for years in the "Stüberl" (small lounge) of their grandfather's farm.
The results were good, but the special challenge was still missing. In 2020, Hubert Krenn, a good friend and neighbour of Markus, asked him why he didn't want to make "something proper" for once. Thus, on a long night in the small village of Mistelbach in the Waldviertel, the idea of producing a Waldviertler Premium Gin was born. After nights of experimenting with a distillery with a capacity of only two litres, the two actually managed to produce an excellent gin (as it later turned out to be).
"not too long ago, when the following story occurred."
That, of course, motivated us greatly to continue in this direction. Unfortunately, Hubert Krenn passed away unexpectedly in 2021. We have lost a wonderful friend and human being. Hubert will always remain in the heart of the Woif – THANK YOU for everything.
