GiGi, the owner of Jolly Rooster @ Fynbos Distillery, invites you to share her passion.
I am in love with the Overberg. One of the most majestic estates in Stanford, situated on the southern slopes of the Klein River Mountain, is a wine farm called Sir Robert Stanford Estate. Whenever my husband Mike and I visited my beloved holiday home in Franskraal, just outside Gansbaai, we also visited the estate for Sunday lunch. One weekend, we went for a walk on the farm and followed the pathway that made its way past the wine shop and ended up in the tasting room of a small distillery. I loved the idea of distilling. Back in my erotic dancing days at the Titty Twister in Rivonia, Johannesburg, the owner once said to me, “GiGi, there’s only money in two things in life, women and liquor!”
One Sunday, we drove to the small distillery only to find it closed. We tracked down the farm’s owner, who explained that his distillers had walked out on him. He knew nothing about the business. The distillery was on a hill overlooking a dreamy pond. It had a peach pip floor, a 70-year-old copper still, and a patio with a Mexican cantina feel. I loved the tiny distillery. Mike and I went into partnership with the owner of the estate. It felt like a hugely exciting venture.
We invited Loffie, a knowledgeable professor, to train our staff while Mike and I enrolled on Master Distillers courses. While the venture succeeded initially, the old copper pot still started giving in, followed by break-ins on the farm. The old copper still was stolen, along with the fixed copper pipes. We had no choice but to look for a new location.
Mike’s daughter Dani, who worked for us as a distiller, found the perfect venue. It was a small factory on the R43 in the Industrial Area of Stanford. Before we bought the building, Mike and I flew to Panama to investigate whether the grass was greener on the other side of the world. When we landed in David, a small town in Panama, it was raining heavily. It rains for ten months of the year there, and the weather was humid and wet the whole time we were there. Our clothes were musky, and the water in our hotel smelled. After four days, we decided we would be staying in the Overberg.
We bought the small factory in Stanford and called our tasting room the Jolly Rooster after the beautiful roosters we saw in Panama. It represented our decision to stay in beautiful South Africa. The roosters were red, yellow, white, and black, with long legs and athletic bodies. We were in awe at how much the Panamanian people loved their birds.
