Karoo

The Karoo District, which is located approximately 400 km north-east of Cape Town, lies in a unique semi-desert landscape. This extreme environment creates exceptional terroir conditions with large temperature fluctuations between day and night. The rainfall per m² per year is only around 200-300mm, which makes careful irrigation essential.

At Savinis you will find the best producers from the Karoo region such as Sutherland Winery, Ceres Plateau and Aan de Doorns. These pioneering wineries have proven that excellent wines can be produced even in this seemingly inhospitable environment. The extreme climatic conditions – hot days and cool nights – give the wines a special intensity and concentration.

The Karoo wines are characterized by their exceptional minerality and complexity, which comes directly from the unique slate and sandstone soil. Particularly noteworthy are the elegant red wines and the fresh, aromatic white wines that are produced despite the challenging conditions.

Six Dogs

For the Six Dogs distillery, the development of gin is about more than just hand-picked botanicals, the special copper still or the technology used to process the delicate flowers into gin. The distillery wants to produce the best gin they can to create something extraordinary.

In a shed that normally housed Charles Bryant’s six dogs and an old copper still, the dream unfolded: to make a gin that was better than the gin produced by the local distillery industry.

Distiller Charles Bryant was supported by his brother Glenn and his friend Luigi Marucchi. They also wanted to create something very special. They had a traditional copper still made to their own specifications for distillation. Their research into molecular distillation revealed that some of the sensitive plant substances are better preserved when distilled under vacuum. What began as research into technology and botany developed into a passion. This is how Six Dogs Karoo Gin was born.
