Once
a year in mid-June the vine flower blossoms to life for a few days only before
giving birth to a grape berry; this period is called Floraison in French. G’Vine Floraison captures the essence of this
ephemeral, exhilarating fragrance and the warmth of the summer arrival.
Delicate,
sweet and floral on the nose, with spicy warm hints of cardamom and
ginger. Smooth, subtle, round, grassy
with flowers and spice. The floral taste
of the vine flower is very upfront, with juniper, cardamom and ginger following
along. To finish the floral taste stands
out and is very long and dry. Clean
crispy back end.
The
subtle, aromatic vine flower together with the grape spirit soften the
traditional juniper taste and make it a well balanced, full bodied and soft gin,
appreciated by gin and non gin-drinkers alike.
