Chopin
The Polish distillery Chopin produces delicious vodka using sustainable methods from potatoes, rye, and wheat, often grown on the same estate. Leading the distillery are the Dorda family, who oversee every phase of the production process, from the land to the bottle, nurturing the tradition of the last Polish vodka brand managed on a strictly family basis. The founder of Chopin is Tadeusz Dorda, who in 2003 purchased a distillery dedicated to vodka production since as far back as 1896. To enhance the centuries-old tradition of the distillery, the Dorda family seeks the highest quality without compromise, working with the same trusted growers for generations. The family team consists of Tadeusz Dorda, founder and CEO of Chopin, Alexandra Dorda, marketing director, Wojtek Dorda, regional sales director, and Piotr Dorda, export manager. Production is entrusted to Master Distiller Waldemar Durakiewicz, who has been working with Chopin for over 40 years, overseeing every phase of the distillation.
The area of agricultural land owned by Chopin extends over about 7 hectares located near the village of Krzesk, in the eastern part of Poland. The water used in the processing comes from an artesian spring that flows right beneath the estate, and the potato is the main ingredient of Chopin's vodka, followed in second place by rye and wheat. For the distillation process, the Dorda family can rely on a copper still dating back to the 19th century, one of the oldest stills in all of Poland still in operation.
The range of vodka from the Chopin distillery includes three classic Vodkas made from three different ingredients: potatoes, rye, and wheat, a ‘Family Reserve’ Vodka, the highest expression of the family's potato vodka, a Vera Wang Vodka, created in collaboration with the namesake fashion designer, and a Rye Organic Vodka, the first organic certified vodka from the Dorda family. The foundation of the style of all these distillates is to bring out articulated and deep expressions from simple ingredients such as potato, rye, and wheat.
