A Cape brandy, handcrafted from the very best Chenin blanc, matured in oak casks for a minimum of 10 years. Luminous amber, glints of gold with seductive fine floral notes, stone fruit and marmalade on the nose. A full palate, round with unfolding layers of delicate sundried peach, vanilla, creamy chocolate and roasted nuts. Mellow, smooth with a toffee and spice underbelly. Long, elegant and harmonious.

Food Suggestion
Die Kaapse Brandewijn Kompanie XO Cape Brandy works beautifully after dinner alongside rich, savoury dishes or comforting desserts. It pairs particularly well with slow-cooked beef short ribs, roast duck or smoky braaied meats, where the spirit’s oak and spice complement caramelised flavours. For dessert, try it with sticky toffee pudding, dark chocolate brownies or baked pecan tart, which echo the brandy’s notes of caramel, nuts and dried fruit. It is equally enjoyable served simply with good quality dark chocolate or a mature hard cheese at the end of a meal.
