Rust en Vrede Potstill Brandy Aged 12 Years

In the cellar

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.
