Description

This is a story about friendship, time and a spirit that echoes through decades. From Bottelary’s rich earth, these old vine Colombard grapes were picked when the millennium was still new.

What we sacrifice in yield, the brandy gains in depth and character. Double distilled by hand in Wellington from a pure copper pot still and patiently laid away in barrel for twenty years, this brandy was crafted by the previous generation to be enjoyed in the next.

Alcohol: 38
100% Colombard
Grapes are picked at 18 Balling
Our Cape Brandy is a quintessential example of the Cognac style, crafted with precision and care. Made from 100% Colombard grapes, which are harvested early to retain their vibrant flavors, this brandy undergoes a meticulous double distillation process that amplifies its aromatic complexity. Matured in a diverse selection of old oak casks—including Limousin, Allier, Nevers, Eastern European, and American barrels—the brandy develops its rich golden hue and gains nuanced notes of vanilla and butterscotch from the oak. After two decades of aging, the spirit is carefully diluted to 38% ABV with pure water and then bottled by hand, preserving its artisanal character.
