Brandy and Food, Meant to Be A South African brandy has been awarded the title of ‘best brandy in the world’ 15 times over the past 20 years at the International Wine and Spirits Competition. The first Brandy ever produced along South African shores was aboard the ship de Pijl in 1672, by an assistant cook. Since that first distillation, of two leaguers (1164 litres) of Cape wine into “three ankers” (126 litres) of brandy, South African brandy has remained full of fire and innovation. Johan Venter has kept many lessons from his 30+ year career in spirits, @theinventer__ is an expression of his commitment, passion and good spirit. #TasteLetsSee #TheInventer #SABrandy (at Marble Johannesburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpAqWz1qSUw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Classic with a Twist A classic @sa_brandy sour cocktail, from Kurt from @causeeffectbar, made with @theinventer__ Blanco Blanco is a blend of four cultivars: 🍇 Chenin Blanc from Stellenbosch, Johan says you can taste the sunshine 🍇 Sauvignon Blanc from Woester, these ten year old barrels that Johan says he blended and put together 🍇 Ugni Blanc from Robertson that Johan says provided structure and age 🍇 Hannepoot from the Karoo, Johan says just a touch to complete the process #TasteLetsSee #TheInventer #SABrandy (at Marble Johannesburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpAXQcUKewl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Feel the Spirit 🥃 What do you do after 30 years of being at the helm of one of the world’s most awarded brandy producers? Make more Brandy. Johan, founder of @theinventer__ says: “you still have the best of everything, if you made the best for 30 years - you know the barrels, the wine, the maturation were decided by you. There were noble, special cultivars, selected by you.” He adds that @theinventer__ is something special and unique, and it was almost like starting from scratch #TasteLetsSee #TheInventer #SABrandy (at Marble Johannesburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co-voyZqBVx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Rosso the Boss-o 🍒 An unusual Brandy, made with red wine grapes, @theinventer__ Rosso. “For me, this Brandy is more complex, and exhibits different flavours,” Johan says. Blended from distilled Cabernet Sauvignon from Stellenbosch and Merlot from Durbanville, the brandy exhibits chilli, chocolate and Christmas cake characteristics. The Inventor? Inventive. #TasteLetsSee #TheInventer #SABrandy (at Marble Johannesburg) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co-qCk_q4aa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
