Rated by a panel, including some of the world’s foremost judges, at the
Michelangelo’s recently, the Wilderer Fynbos Gin and Grappa Muscato Barrique received
Gold while the Peach Mampoer claimed
Silver. The Wilderer Fynbos Gin’s win secured its third consecutive international gold medal. The gin was recently awarded
Gold at the
Meiningers International Spirits Awards and at the
Selection Magazine competition in Germany.
“We’re honoured to have the distilling team’s hard work and dedication recognised at prestigious international events such as the
Michelangelo’s,” says managing director, Christian Wilderer. “We’re especially excited to see the growing popularity and success of the Fynbos Gin among international taste connoisseurs.”
The spirit is Wilderer Distillery’s first locally crafted gin by master distiller, Helmut Wilderer.
Wilderer Distillery, South Africa’s first high-tech private grappa distillery, was established in Stellenbosch in 1995 and moved to Simondium (between Paarl and Stellenbosch) in 2000. Now also operating at La Grapperia at the Spice Route Destination in Suid-Agter Paarl, the distillery uses a 700-litre copper pot still to create the triple-distilled spirits.
Wilderer’s range of craft spirits, including the award-winning gin; grappa; and mampoer, are available from Wilderer Distillery at Spice Route Destination in Paarl and Pappa Grappa in Simondium. The range is also sold at major liquor outlets in most regions and online at
Yuppiechef and
Cybercellar.
