2010-12-08 : New trends: Artisanal Produce - Jorgensen's & Neighbourgoods Market

Craft distillation is about quality, choice and individuality. At Jorgensen's Distillery located in Wellington (Wineland Area near Paarl) , Roger and Dawn Jorgensen lovingly handcraft a range of super premium spirits for your enjoyment. They are open anytime, but only by appointment: +27 (0) 21 864 1777

In the meantime, just reading the names of these liquors, makes me personally want to go out there for a tasting, don't you?

• Savingnac Potstill Brandy is South Africa's finest spirit, rare and rich, and completely natural.
• Primitiv Vodka is not just another vodka; it's authentic, sophisticated and lovingly handcrafted from organic Speltgrown in the high Cedarberg
• Field of Dreams is South Africa's handrafted organic ABSINTHE. Distilled in the traditional French way it is a Labour of Love.
• Jorgensen’s Gin is a wacky blend of zesty Macedonian Juniper and peppery Grains of Paradise from Wild West Africa.
• Handpicked hand zested natural macerated lemons, their gorgeous organic oils and fragrant lemon colour, is what makes our Naked Lemon Limoncello.

Another great address that is already become a household name for most Captonians is the Neighbourgoods Market in Woodstock, a 10 minute drive from the centre of Cape Town. This award-winning market features over 100 specialty traders every Saturday, creating a weekly platform for local farmers, fine-food purveyors, organic merchants, bakers and distributors, grocers, mongers, butchers, artisan producers, celebrated local chefs, and micro enterprises. The Neighbourgoods Market is housed in an old sky-lit Victorian warehouse and courtyard at the Old Biscuit Mill in the emerging industrial neighbourhood of Woodstock, Cape Town. Aside from buying fresh produce one can also enjoy live musical performances. Sit at the big tables and enjoy your eats and drinks. I definitely am one of those people who enjoys the philiosphy of freshly grown, organic food & drink combined with some real life music. (Saturdays from 9am to 2pm at The Old Biscuit Mill, Woodstock)
