Vodka

The Tronk Voël Naartjie vodka from West Coast Distillers is infused with the local naartjie fruit: these orange-skinned citrus fruits are reminiscent of mandarins. This is a smooth, rounded style of vodka with fragrant citrus flavours and a fresh, fruity finish. According to the distillery, Naartjie Vodka is great in a Vodka Rock Shandy (lemonade, soda, bitters) and makes a very refreshing Cosmopolitan.

Vodka

Tronk Voël is the term for “jail bird” in the Afrikaans language. The name refers to the extended prohibition that South Africa underwent during the Covid-19 pandemic. The distillers at West Coast spent this time perfecting their premium vodka recipe. Clearly it was time well spent! This classic, slow-distilled vodka is very easy drinking with its clean, pure, ultra-smooth taste. You’ll also love the whimsical packaging that perfectly captures the jail bird spirit.

The Toro appellation lies to the west of Ribera del Duero, along the Duero River. This small vineyard region is known for its particularly bold, dense red wines. The star grape is Tempranillo, though it is referred to by its local name, Tinta de Toro. The Alma de Gildo 2020 Toro is made from venerable old vines, between 40 and 90 years in age. The high-altitude vineyards, perched at 700 to 800 metres, boast diverse soils of sandy loam and calcareous clay. The result is a powerful, tannic red wine with intense dark fruit and cedar and spice notes from wellexecuted ageing in French oak barrels. The palate has excellent depth of flavour and bright, lifted acidity. Decant an hour before serving. 2025-2040– jb

From Spanish Palate

Priorat is one of only two Spanish wine regions to hold a DOCa appellation status, alongside Rioja. This is the highest quality ranking for the country. While Tempranillo is the major grape in many of Spain’s best red wine regions, Priorat’s fine wines are produced from Garnacha (a.k.a. Grenache) and Samsó, the local name for Carignan. Located inland from the Catalan city of Tarragona, Priorat boasts a hot, dry climate with high-altitude vineyards and signature llicorella soils (a mixture of decomposed slate and quartz). Olim’s Trosset de Porrera 2018 is a fine example with its weighty, dense character and heady notes of ripe fruit over complex spiced, floral and savoury nuances. Brisk acidity and high, angular tannins bookend the lengthy palate. 2023-2035– jb
