KWV Nexus
30 Year Old Potstill Brandy
Indicated value: ZAR 23 000
The KWV Nexus 30 Year Old is an exceptional potstill brandy, handcrafted in small batches at the KWV cellars in Paarl using a blend ranging in age from 30 to 40 years old. A limited release, it uses only the nest selected grapes double distilled in French copper potstills and matured to perfection in French Oak.
Aptly, the Nexus name means the highest point of a connection. KWV’s Master Distiller Pieter de Bod oversees each step to ensure the product is exquisitely crafted so that uncompromised purity and handcrafted quality is captured in every drop.
The rich golden amber liquid has a sweet strawberry jam, honey, dried orange peel and green pepper corn nose, which is well balanced with cinnamon, macadamia nuts and a smoky aroma complimented by old woody tawny port flavours. A well balanced brandy, it has a long finish with notes of spices, caramelized fruit and roasted coffee beans.
KWV Nexus comes in an exquisite hand-blown bottle crafted by internationally acclaimed glass artist David Reade. Each individually crafted bottle is sealed with a handmade Baltic amber stone set in copper by award-winning jewellery designer Maike Valcarcel. The outer casing, handcrafted from wood, represents the culmination of a journey of unsurpassed craft, patience and attention to detail.
“The use of all natural products put together by these artisans fits beautifully with our Proud Pioneer philosophy. From vine to glass, this precious blend is the proud fulfilment of an incredible brandy-making odyssey that represents our Master Craftsmen at their very best,” says KWV Marketing Director De Bruyn Steenkamp.
