The Story
A century of Transylvanian craft.
For more than a century, the Zetea family has transformed carefully selected orchard fruit into distinctive Romanian spirits in the village of Medieșu Aurit, in northwestern Transylvania.
The proprietary ZETEA method preserves the traditional character of each fruit through direct-fire boilers and generational knowledge refined across four generations of distillers.
