While the Cognac region may be known as the birth place of centuries-old distillation practices using the Ugni Blanc grape variety, G’Vine is the first to use it as a base spirit for gin. This specific type of grape is recognized for its adaptability to the distillation process: high in acidity and neutral in flavour. More commonly associated with brandy, it is this unconventional grape-based spirit that gives the G’Vine duo their distinct character.
Tasting Notes:
Smooth, floral, light spicy: bright aromas of cinnamon bark and vibrantly floral juniper follow through on a smooth, supple entry to a glycerous dry-yet-fruity full body with lovely layers of spice, mint and lemon verbena. Delicate and floral with spicy warmth and a lingering, smooth finish. The subtle, aromatic vine flowers together with the grape spirit soften the traditional juniper taste and make it a well balanced and very soft gin.
