Colombard
FULL-BODIED, DRIED APRICOT, VANILLA, TROPICAL FRUIT, JASMINE
From a town named after Lady Juana — the Spanish-born wife of a 19th-century Cape governor — this pot still brandy is one of the rarest releases out of the Klein Karoo. The distillery fires a single copper pot still, designed by the late "Oom Fasie" van Niekerk, just once a year, producing enough base wine for 1,000 bottles of finished brandy. Eight years in French oak do the rest.
Colombard thrives in this arid climate, where dramatic overnight temperature drops force a longer ripening period and concentrate the fruit acids that define high-quality brandy base wine. Four gold medals across Michelangelo, Los Angeles, New York, and The Spirits Business in 2018.
SUGGESTED SERVES :
| Neat or single large rock | opens the dried fruit and jasmine without losing the long finish |
| Splash of chilled sparkling water | the distillery's own recommendation — lifts the tropical notes |
| Cape malva pudding | classic Klein Karoo pairing — cinnamon and dried apricot in both |
