By Request! See… FIRE WATER - SOUTH AFRICAN BRANDY

Michael Fridjhon, one of South Africa’s leading winewriters says, "The true pleasure of the brandy distiller’s art takes a lifetime to reveal. It is not a voyage frivolously undertaken, but the world it opens up is deeply hospitable and every staging post is a microcosm of the route."

‘Fire Water’ is a fascinating account by Wendy Toerien of how brandy is created, weaving a compelling tale and one that involves the reader from start to finish - absorbing and thrilling!
