The Thandi Project

Thandi is a unique partnership between government, a farm community and private enterprise.

Malus is a combination of innovative thought, traditional wine and whiskey making methods, as well as creative art. While the product can be classified as an apple spirit, specific to the terroir of Elgin, the concept is unique.
