Cape Fynbos

For Johan du Toit and Oliver Kirsten, it all began with an almost obsessive love for the unique landscape and flora of the Western Cape in South Africa. The biodiversity of the "Cape Floral Kingdom" is breathtaking. Most of these plant species belong to the group known as "Fynbos." Cape Fynbos Gin remains true to these roots and is distilled in collaboration with the Wilderer Distillery in Paarl, using the finest white spirits in small batches of 40 liters each. These spirits are infused with high-quality juniper berries and the bark, roots, berries, blossoms, stems, peel, or leaves of over 30 sustainably hand-harvested indigenous botanicals. Before distillation, the botanicals are macerated in the base alcohol to achieve an optimal blend of plant aromas. The gradual blending with pure spring water from the granite massif results in an absolutely unique gin of the highest quality. Deep and complex herbal aromas with nuances of orange essence, cloves, white pepper, honey and wild fynbos lie over an unimaginably smooth palate sensation, making this gin a true treasure.

The new Citrus Edition is based on the same botanical composition as the classic Cape Fynbos Gin. In addition, the peels of five different citrus fruits are steeped in pure gin for nearly two weeks before filtration and subsequent gradual blending with Franschhoek mountain water. Many of the 30 carefully selected botanicals belong to the Fynbos group of plants, for which the region is world-renowned.
