Ellement Wine & Spirits

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

"A young Viognier vineyard on Sugarbird Manor in Stellenbosch. Dried flowers, potpourri, dried ginger root, hibiscus, orange peel and strawberry juice. Tastes pretty close to dry with a fragrant peppermint finish. Includes the taste of rooibos tea botanicals as well as the ping and zip of the grapefruit rinds. Beautifully juicy, red shiny maraschino-cherry and nectarine fruit in the middle." 25 g/L Residiual sugar.

The first commercially available Vermouth, but in a half bottle, for those who make half as many cocktails as the average mixologist.

Pronounced "poont-eh-mess", with its origin in an off-the-cuff drink, mixed according to a share price increase, that became too popular not to bottle. Cin cin!

Wowza! One of the best white vermouths in the entire milky way galaxy. Taste like cream soda and has fresh green herbs, bitter citrus with fennel and anise.

Red Spanish Vermut from Macabeu grapes and a maceration of 150 herbs. Vermut + Citrus + Soda all day.

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.
