When Jean Engelbrecht opened the Rust en Vrede Restaurant with David Higgs in 2007, his ideas of food and wine began to evolve. The idea of a complete dining experience took root in his mind, and his experiences at top restaurants around the world always concluded with a digestif Cognac. Thus inspired, the idea of a Rust en Vrede Potstill Brandy was born. Conceived as a digestif, the Rust en Vrede Estate Potstill Brandy was created to be enjoyed after dinner, with good company.

Maturation
The new wine spirit is aged at full strength in 300L French oak barrels previously used for maturing Rust en Vrede Cabernet Sauvignon. Aging for a minimum of 12 years takes place in barrel, with the oldest component for this first release being 15 years old.
Blending
This XO brandy is blended from barrels which have matured for a minimum of 12 years. Careful blending of spirit distilled in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 took place after maturation to ensure the highest possible quality brandy, in line with the winemaking tradition of Rust en Vrede. Finally, the brandy is reduced to a soft, palatable 38% abv before bottling.
