More about us
Metanoia Permaculture Farm & Distillery is a small, but diverse, utilizing regenerative farming methods, coupled with a state-of-the-art potstill, to produce a variety of products including whisky, potstill brandy, gin and husk spirit (grappa).
The farm is situated in the Tradauw Valley with its long distilling history and export quality fruit produce. As a result, all ingredients necessary for excellent fruit and other distilled products are on our doorstep. The area is also rich in flora, including aromatic and medicinal botanicals such as Buchu, Wilde Als and Confetti Bush. All these are ideally suited for making high-quality botanical spirits like our Klein Karoo Gin. We will also be releasing our flagship Single Malt and Single Rye Whisky towards the end of 2025.

Cellar favourites
“My current favourite is probably our husk spirit or grappa which we produce in very small quantities. Our gin is also highly rated by panel judges and feature a number of wild and other botanicals that grow in the area.”
Beyond the cellar
He loves cycling, especially mountain biking and to go for walks with their three dogs – and he is also a big fan of chickens as they not only provide them with food, but are also fantastic soil regenerators!
