In 2008, if German-born New Zealander, Ulf Führer, wanted a proper drink of Schnapps, his only alternative was to import it or make his own. So in 2009, Ulf set about creating the first New Zealand made German-style Schnapps.
He called it ZUMWOHL, meaning ‘a toast to good health and wealth’. Crafted in the tradition of premium German Schnapps, ZUMWOHL has been meticulously created from high quality, 100% New Zealand ingredients.
Distilled, bottled and perfected in Wellington, ZUMWOHL is the only New Zealand-made Schnapps in the world. With a 37.2% alcohol content, ZUMWOHL may be smooth, clean and easy on the palate, but it packs quite a punch.
In a market dominated by vodka and quick shot liqueurs, ZUMWOHL brings with it a whole new approach to drinking, following the tradition of European Schnapps houses and alpine culture.
Though it’s new to the market, the unique New Zealand Schnapps hasn’t gone unnoticed. ZUMWOHL has already achieved international acclaim at two of the worlds most prestigious spirits competitions San Francisco and London. It has won medals for all its three flavours.
Available in three original flavours, ZUMWOHL can be enjoyed neat, over ice, or as the base ingredient for a superb cocktail.
