Product of the day isn’t wine but a rather good pear brandy (price: R650 per 500ml bottle) from Vergelegen in Somerset West. From an orchard that has grown on the property for over 30 years, the fruit mash was first fermented in the property’s own hilltop cellar for ten days, then distilled and bottled by the Dalla Cia family who are renowned spirits producers. Fruit character is pure and intense, the texture silky. Alcohol is 43%.
