BRANDY WITH HERITAGE:
Wedged between the Cederberg and the Atlantic, the Olifant River Valley offers a plethora of microclimates. Fed with quality water from the Cederberg Mountains, it winds its way through constantly changing climates to finally spill into the Atlantic near Koekenaap in the harsh and arid southern border of Namaqualand and the rich Knersvlakte.
This is where 1st Principles Brandies start their journey, winding their way through hands of the farmers, winemaker, distiller and finally into oak barrels and into this bottle.
Brandies with heritage and a true sense of place.
THE BRANDY EVOLUTION:
Brandy is not made but slowly evolves and grows like the live feat of nature it is. A true reflection of what happens if the best of nature and man work in synergy.
It starts with the farmer and nature producing healthy grapes with character and personality. The winemaker, with the help of zillions of yeast cells then transforms the grapes into rebate wine.
The distiller with the help of copious amounts of copper contact coaxes the best raw brandy from this wine. Then it is the turn of the oak barrels and lots of patience to make magic.
Finally, after years of slow and patient development a product that can proudly call itself brandy emerges.
