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! 

CHRISTMAS FEATURE
AT THE VINEYARD HOTEL & SPA

With Alex Docherty, Executive Chef, The Vineyard Hotel & Spa

Celebrate the season of Christmas with an elegant dinner! A touch of brandy, silver studded snowmen and a fine Christmas cake. Scintillating cocktails, a trio of mushroom soup with a dash of brandy, braised lamb and delectable fondant potatoes with brandied apricot chutney. Panna cotta is the unctuous, creamy dessert with a citrus brandy sauce, and the most important of all, a fine Christmas Cake, well aged and redolent with Oude Molen 100 Reserve brandy. The finale an excellent coffee and some smooth as silk chocolate.
