The Franschhoek Distillery Slivovic 375ml is a unique South African take on a classic Eastern European spirit. This Slivovic (plum brandy) is traditionally crafted from high-quality, local plums. The Franschhoek Distillery, located in the famous wine valley, uses a similar process to wine-making before distillation. This results in a complex, fruit-forward spirit. The smaller bottle size makes it a perfect introduction to this style.
- The distillery’s products, including its Absinthe, have received Gold Medals at the SA Women’s Wine & Spirit Competition.
- The Slivovic is praised for its quality and accurate representation of the traditional style.
- The distillery focuses on farm-to-bottle production, using biodynamically produced fruit from the farm itself.
You are greeted by strong, authentic plum aromas on the nose. Franschhoek Distillery Slivovic then develops a softer, intriguing palate. Notes of creamy vanilla and deep caramel emerge during the tasting. A subtle hint of mocha often appears on the very smooth finish. This complexity makes it exceptionally versatile. Traditionally, Slivovic is served neat. The distillery suggests an excellent pairing with coffee and dark chocolate.
