Twenty Third Street Distillery

Passion, creativity and reinvention of the old with the new…

Twenty Third Street Distillery is the new incarnation of a century-old landmark in Renmark, in the heart of South Australia’s fertile Riverland region.

The distillery was first built by Barossa firm Chateau Tanunda in 1914 to take advantage of burgeoning Riverland harvests. After a series of mergers and takeovers, the old Renmano site ceased operation in 2002 – but the spirit lingered, and in 2016 the Bickford’s Group opened the doors to the rejuvenated site.

“We managed to lay our hands on a pair of South Australian built copper stills of around the same vintage as our building,” explains Twenty Third Street’s Gabrielle Millane. “With components repaired, tweaked and tuned, these fine old girls are the living pulse of our distillery. They add a little well-experienced, knowing sass to every drop.”

The Twenty Third Street stable of premium craft spirits is growing, and now includes seven core products: Signature Gin, Riverland Rose Vodka, Not Your Nanna’s Brandy, Prime 5 Brandy, Navy Strength Gin, Barrel Aged Gin and Australian Vodka – with the latter three launching within the last two months. The striking design of the distillery’s range comes courtesy of local artists, who are commissioned to create the artwork for the labels.

While the Signature Gin (infused with ten botanicals including local mandarins and limes) is a standout, the dark horse in the distillery’s range is Not Your Nanna’s Brandy – specifically created to reignite the brandy scene with a healthy dose of ‘cool’. As a testament to the quality of its output, both spirits took home a Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2017, less than a year after the distillery opened.
