Boplaas Potstill Reserve Brandy 20 Year Old

A masterpiece of patience and South African heritage, the Boplaas Potstill Reserve 20 Year Old is distilled from estate-grown Colombard grapes, double-distilled in a century‑old Santagans copper pot still, and aged for two decades in a selection of French Limousin and old Port barrels. This flagship expression showcases the spirit of the Klein Karoo and the artistry of the Nel family’s distilling legacy.
