THE STORYOF ZAPLET
Everyone carries their own life story, yet each of us holds a unique, primal twist deep within.
The light that keeps us warm reveals itself in a smile of forgiveness, a glance of understanding, a tear unashamed to roll down a cheek. It is the force that allows us to create, to love, and to grow.
Darkness feeds on doubt, greed, and pride. It whispers, tempts, and challenges us. It is the force through which we question, fear, and protect ourselves.
So where does the true twist lie?
It lives on the border between light and shadow — in fleeting moments when you allow yourself to become a bohemian, a devil, or a reveler, only to awaken reason, love, and peace in the very next heartbeat. This is the power that makes us human, moves us forward, ignites life within us, and gives rise to new experiences.
Surrender to your own Twist.
MISSION & VISION OF THE FOUNDERSThe founders’ history and mission
Behind the Cherry Hill distillery and the Zaplet brand is the Urošević family, the seventh generation to live and work in Višnjica on the banks of the Danube. Their vision grew from a deep respect for nature, family heritage and Serbian rakia — one of the most precious expressions of the country’s tradition, yet a spirit whose potential remains under-recognised at home and abroad.
Believing that rakia made from healthy, carefully selected fruit deserves a place among the world’s finest spirits, the family began turning its dream into reality in 2019. The result is one of Serbia’s most modern distilleries, created to preserve and advance the culture of rakia, raise standards of quality and leave a lasting legacy for future generations.
Zaplet begins in our own orchards. Quince and apricot grow beside the distillery, while seven hectares of fertile land in Moravci, near Ljig, are planted with the native Crvena Ranka plum.
From orchard to bottle, every stage is guided by quality control, dedication and patience — without compromise.
The founders’ vision lives on in a team united by dedication to quality, respect for tradition and the courage to keep pushing boundaries.
