At Dekkersvlei, our Bespoke Brandy Selection represents the pinnacle of Cape craftsmanship. Each expression begins with hand-selected Chenin Blanc grapes, double-distilled in traditional copper pot stills, and matured in small oak barrels to achieve an exceptional balance between velvety smoothness and layered aromatics.
From youthful vibrancy to deep, contemplative maturity, this collection captures the spirit of the Cape in its most refined form.
Bright, poised, and beautifully balanced, our 3-Year expression showcases the artistry of slow, gentle double distillation. Matured in small oak barrels, it reveals a lively profile of soft fruit, warm oak, and subtle spice. Smooth and approachable, it’s a timeless introduction to Dekkersvlei’s brandy tradition.
With additional years resting in oak, the 5-Year offers a deeper, silkier expression. Layers of dried fruit, caramel, and toasted spice unfold with remarkable smoothness. The extended maturation brings a luxurious, rounded character that lingers beautifully on the palate.
Radiant in a golden amber hue, the 10-Year expression captures the warmth and generosity of extended oak maturation. Lush ripe stone fruit leads the way, with apricots and peaches unfolding alongside gentle layers of honey and vanilla. As the palate develops, intricate spice notes emerge, adding depth without overpowering the fruit core. The finish is polished and clean, leaving a lasting impression of balance and finesse.
Burnt amber in colour, the 15-Year brandy reveals a beautifully layered aromatic profile that speaks of patience and craft. The nose opens with mocha and dark chocolate, followed by hints of red fruit and ripe berries that add lift and intrigue. On the palate, bold, full-bodied flavours create a sense of richness, yet the texture remains silky. The finish lingers gracefully, carrying warmth and depth long after the final sip.
Displaying a deep amber hue, the 18-Year expression is defined by maturity and remarkable complexity. Concentrated notes of figs, apricots, and prunes intertwine with rich spices of cinnamon and clove, while toasted oak and walnut add structure. Subtle traces of chocolate, coffee, and a touch of citrus brighten the depth, creating a layered and evolving tasting experience. The result is a refined, enduring finish that reflects years of careful ageing.
