Description

A juniper and citrus-rich London Dry style, this has as much emphasis on the Gin as the barrel. Distiller Rob Tyson looks at the barrel as another botanical with the same balance and integration rules as the rest of the recipe. Twelve botanicals are used, including juniper, citrus, coriander, long pepper and fresh ginger. They are soaked in a cane sugar base spirit in a muslin cloth in the spirit still for one day, followed by a one-day distillation process. This is then maturated in Sylvain barrels from Château Angélus (shaved and toasted prior to use) for six to 12 weeks depending on the age of the cask.

A pale, straw-gold, this almost looks like a Riesling in the glass. The nose has sweet, lifted oak characters, with honey, pear and granny smith elements. The palate is almost like a toffee apple: it's bright and round with a perception of sweetness which is offset by a cleansing bitterness, sharpness and gentle grip towards the finish. Try it over ice to expose more juniper and savoury oak characters. This is a sipping Gin - drink it straight for powerful flavour or over ice for refreshment.

Botanicals: juniper, coriander seed, orris root, orange peel, lemon peel, liquorice root, star anise, long pepper, cassia bark, lemon myrtle, ginger, dried orange.

Tasmanian Wine

The Tasmanian wine region is a cool climate region, the most southerly of all wine regions in Australia. Due to the lower temperatures, the area grows primarily Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc, with smaller plantings of Riesling, Pinot Gris and Cabernet Sauvignon.

“Having been to many wine tastings over the years, I can definitely say from a personal standpoint that Tasmanian Chardonnay and Pinot noir are always ones I look forward to trying if they are on the menu. They are almost always high calibre wines that can easily compete against what the rest of the world has to offer in these varietals.” Jason C. – World Wine.

While Tasmania makes great still wines, the exceptional Chardonnay and Pinot Noir also make for excellent sparkling wines.

More recent vintages since 2005 have been positively impacted by the effects of global warming. With slightly higher temperatures the grapes are ensured to ripen fully and produce more vibrant wine.
