Wrecking Coast Elderberry Something Else

This small batch ‘Something Else’ ticks all the boxes; not only does it have a deep flavour rich in elderberry but is produced using local wine and the spirit distilled from it. With an excellent rich and complex flavour, oodles of sweetness balanced by the punch of raw brandy spirit – vibrant is the word!

From River Cottage to The Wrecking Coast, dedicated wild forager, foodie and aspiring drinks creator, Tim Maddams had developed a delicious take on a classic Port but wanted to incorporate elderberries and local wine. Having worked closely with Polgoon Vineyard, he then contacted Avian and Craig at Wrecking Coast to help develop this exciting idea.

Polgoon Vineyards supplied the wine, they turned some of that Cornish wine into brandy to fortify the drink and elderberries were brought in with help from our local forager. After trials to get the flavours spot on, Elderberry Something Else was born!

2022 is the first year of commercial production, with only a very limited number of bottles available. We are excited to see the future… ‘Something Else’ is soon to be on the tip of everyone’s tongue.
