Chinola Passion Fruit Liqueur
Chinola Passion Fruit LiqueurChinola Passion Fruit Liqueur
ESTATE GROWN &
HAND-CRAFTED
Vine to bottle. When we were experimenting with chinola (passion fruit), our ultimate goal was to make an all-natural liqueur that still possessed the aromatic fragrance and taste profile of raw passion fruit juice. As our product came to life, it felt fitting to name the liqueur after this sacred Dominican fruit, to honor its origin and forever create memories of sipping chinola-inspired cocktails on the beaches of the Dominican Republic.
SHAKE WELL &
SERVE CHILLED
CHINOLA liqueur is a handcrafted beverage made from distilled spirits and real passion fruit. Through our unique blend and proprietary formulation, we have created a ‘natural’ liqueur with unparalleled taste and versatility. It can be consumed by itself or mixed with any base spirit into top quality cocktails.
Tasting Notes: Deep, rich natural passion fruit taste. Perfect balance between sweet and tangy with natural acidity. Retains natural tropical aroma and taste. Vibrant yellow-orange color.
OLD-WORLD
HERITAGE
CHINOLA is a creative collaboration of hospitality experts, spirit industry professionals, and a multi-generational master blender. Our dream was to create an old-world style liqueur from fresh fruit. In 2013, we discovered the magic of the Dominican passion fruit locally called ‘chinola’. The fruit’s unique tartness is balanced perfectly with natural sweetness and tropical essence. It is ideal for creating sensational cocktails. This amazing fruit was the inspiration behind our Chinola liqueur.

Tidal Lines begins as our delicious classic gin recipe and is then infused with native Illawarra Plums over a ~12 month time frame in ex french oak wine casks. The gin and Illawarra Plum fruit are both placed directly into the casks and left to marry into this one of a kind spirit.
Featuring flavours of fresh juniper, rainforest lime, Illawarra Plum, cinnamon, angelica root, orris root and many others!
What are Illawarra Plums? Illawarra Plums are extremely rare, Australian native bush tucker fruit, packed full of antioxidants. They are not commercially farmed and are not true plums as we know them.
In the UK, distillers make a product called “sloe gin,” which starts off as regular gin but is then steeped in sloe berries, a small black/blue fruit. A sloe berry looks similar to an Illawarra Plum with some very important differences. Sloe berries do not have an external seed, are a completely different species and taste very different. Tidal Lines is an Australian native version of the UK’s sloe gin, with Illawarra Plums used in place of the sloe berries. Australia also has other types of native “plum” such as Davidson Plum and Kakadu Plum, which are different to the Illawarra Plum.
Our Story
Headlands Distilling Co. started from humble beginnings. It was early 2015, and with nothing more than a collective goal to produce handcrafted spirits, four friends founded Wollongong’s first distillery. Despite numerous setbacks and unforeseen hurdles, the combination of scientific precision, engineering practicality and business perseverance prevailed. Initially we produced spirit for our whisky, as we knew it would be a long wait before it was ready. After barreling this spirit in 2016, a year later, we set to work on creating delicious Seacliff Vodka and a range of gins and specialty products.
The journey begins in the Riverina region of NSW, where our relationships with individual farmers allow us to trace the origin of our starting ingredients to the very paddock where they are grown. Freshly harvested grains are picked up directly from the farm and brought to the distillery in Wollongong. From these high quality Australian grains, we handcraft pristine alcoholic spirits.
We bring our fresh, can-do attitude into all aspects of the business. Our Seacliff Vodka represents the starting point, but Headlands is growing into a vibrant, forward-thinking company that creates an exceptional range of spirits from high quality Australian produce. 2019 saw the release of three new products which were also years in the making. Spirit of the Illawarra Plum- 9 months barrel aged. Boobialla gin, made exclusively from Australian native juniper and Daalgaal, gin steeped in Illawarra Plums for 6+ months.
2020 saw the release of our first Single Malt Whisky. Finished in casks which were seasoned with Seppeltsfield Rare Rich Apera and Rare Muscat. 2021 will see the release of the world’s first Illawarra Plum cask whisky, aged in ex- Spirit of the Illawarra Plum barrels!
Grain to glass
The Grain to Glass philosophy is core to Headlands’ products, every step of the production process is done from scratch, from milling the grain, mashing, fermentation, distilling, filtering, bottling and labeling. It demonstrates our passion for ensuring purity at every stage of production. We start with the highest quality ingredients and pair them with our relentless pursuit of perfection. There is no room for compromise.
The locally grown barley is brought fresh from the paddock, directly to the distillery in Wollongong where we mill, ferment, distill and bottle our handcrafted spirits. We have complete oversight of a grain from the time it goes into the ground to the time it goes into a glass.

Just 20km from Adelaide, the Adelaide Hill has been the main apple growing region of South Australia since the 1800’s.
Cidermaking began back then as well, and various cider companies have come and gone over time.
LOBO began back in 2007, we started with a few experiments to try and make some cider out of leftover apples at Michael’s orchard.
Encouraged by the results, the experiments became trials, trying out different apple varieties to see which would make the best cider. Granny Smith were a bit tart, Fuji tended to be sweet and bland, Red Delicious was pretty good, but it turned out that a blend of mostly Pink Lady apples has a good flavour and natural balance.
