Valkyrie Crafted Libations Premium Geistwein:

The Concept 

“Premium Geistwein” is Valkyrie Crafted Libation’s (VCL’s) proprietary locution, describing VCL’s pioneering portfolio of meticulously hand-crafted and premium fortified wines.  

“Geistwein” translates as “Spirit Wine” in the German language. This term symbolizes a double entendre: it refers to both VCL’s unique process of blending custom-distilled brandy and spices with premium wine to produce these exceptional libations. The Term also pays respectful homage to the spiritual innuendo and tradition associated with mystic Norse culture and Viking lore. 

Valkyrie Crafted Libations Two Proprietary Descriptors:

Edeleiche and Reinlich

Valkyrie Crafted Libations (VCL) uses two proprietary descriptors, individual terms denoting “Oaked” vs. “Unoaked” versions of VCL’s Original Geistwein. “Edeleiche” implies “Regal Oak,” which describes VCL’s proprietary process of imbuing French Oak tannins into select VCL products.  The term “Reinlich” implies “Pure Light,” denoting VCL’s Classic "Unoaked” presentation of VCL’s traditional Geistwein.  These two product descriptors are critical differentiators with which to further identify and define Valkyrie Crafted Libation’s unique hand-crafted Geistwein.

VCL pledges its commitment to offering a custom-crafted libation experience like no other.

Valkyrie Goldbaenderâ„¢, part of Valkyrie Crafted Libations Geistwein offerings, was inspired by The Spirit and Tradition of the Valkyrie.

Goldbaender

Valkyrie Goldbaender™ was inspired by The Spirit and Tradition of the Valkyrie, those fearsome warrior goddesses and immortal soul-shepherds reverently spoken of in ancient Norse mythology.   Mounted atop majestic, winged steeds of war, few of Oden’s creations were more imperially terrifying, and certainly none were more beautiful.

Valkyrie Dragonsblut™ was inspired by classic Norse tales of Sigurd’s epic quest.

Dragonsblut

Valkyrie Dragonsblut™ was inspired by classic Norse tales of Sigurd’s epic quest: “Sigurd then slew the mighty dragon Fafnir. Victoriously sheathing his now sanguine blade, Sigurd fortuitously raised a bloody and scalded finger to his lips. Tasting and then understanding the dragon’s mystical essence, Sigurd was transfigured.

Valkyrie Hasselnussâ„¢ draws inspiration from hallowed tales of The Nordic Shield Maiden.

Hasselnuss

Valkyrie Hasselnuss™ draws inspiration from hallowed tales of The Nordic Shield Maiden, those remarkable women from Norse antiquity who bore both child and arms with equal parts maternal zeal and lethal purpose.
