Ellement Wine & Spirits

Fortified wine flavoured with bitter Quinchona and 43 botanicals from one of South Africa's most adventurous winemakers.

A combination of old-growth cedar, Island tea leaves, and botanicals steeped in solera-aged fortified wine, with a crisp minty finish. Sip on its own.

En Rama Sherry is bottled unfiltered and has pronounced yeasty aroma from the contact with Flor. La Gitana is the standard for this style and drinks perfectly as a glass before dinner with olives.

A versatile eau-de-vie known as "Cognac's little brother", suitable for before or after a meal, and indeed matchable with a variety of foods. The Red is more popular with locals. Five years in oak gives it that little something extra.

The ideal replacement for long-defunct Kina Lillet. Not only is this an exceptional apéritif (rocks, orange slice, perhaps a splash of soda), it's just the thing for a Vesper or the brilliant Corpse Reviver #2.  But beware: in the words of cocktail legend Harry Craddock of the London Savoy, "Four of these taken in swift succession will unrevive the corpse again."

Cocchi Rosa, with its beautiful colour from a Red wine base, stars in an excellent aperitivo or spritz garnished with rosemary or ruby grapefruit.

A semi-sweet Sherry with a balance of nutty and dried fruit flavours.

Fino sherry, aged under a veil of flor yeast, is light and fresh in style.

Manzanilla sherry has a great salty and dry character.

Sweet and dessert style Sherry with dried apricot, fig, and honey flavours.

Very dry, oxidative style Sherry with hazelnut aromas.
