Ten years ago, Martin Moore envisioned a uniquely coolclimate brandy that would be the perfect ending to a meal spent in great company. This exceptional brandy is crafted from Durbanville-origin Merlot grapes, potstilled, oak-matured for 10 years and finished in ex-Durbanville Hills Merlot barrels.
about the harvest: The grapes were picked at 21°Balling.
in the cellar : This brandy is made from 100% Merlot grapes, sourced from the eastern side of the valley. Grapes were  crushed, settled and fermented without any SO2. The dry wine was transported with the gross lees to Worcester where it was distilled and matured. The wine was slow distilled in small (920 L) copper potstills. After double distillation, the heart fraction was matured in small lots of 10, hand-selected, oak barrels of different ages for 10 years. The spirit was finally finished in ex-Durbanville Hills Merlot casks and non-chill filtered, yielding a complex, handcrafted brandy of exceptional quality.
