G'VINE NOUAISON43,9° abv-87,8 proof
After the blossoming period in June comes the setting
(Nouaison in French), i.e. the birth of the berry. The fecundated vine 
flower forms a tiny green berry that fixes itself onto the stem.
G’Vine Nouaison captures the emotion around this birth and its silver grey bottle embodies the unique and vibrant concentration of energy, intensity and spiciness of this phase.
Tasting notes : Silky, intensely spicy, subtly floral.
- Nose : Round and warm, acutely botanical, viny, woodsy/forestlike, juniper and cassia bark.
- Palate : Fruity and rich. Intense and complex aromas of cinnamon bark, baked citrus, floral juniper follow through on a round, silky, zesty and robust entry. Very sharp and with a solid character.
- Finish : powerful interplay of juniper,herb,wood and floral notes,fruity ripe,citrusy.
- G’Vine Nouaison amplifies the aromas of the spices, yet retains the sensual and silky grape base as well as the subtle floral note. Superb in a dry martini or in a cocktail, it is an absolute alternative to the classic London Dry gin. “A charming exotic panoply of flavors make this a must try gin for innovative cocktails” BTI
JASON WILSON for the Washington Post "One of my favorite gins is G’Vine Nouaison... This one has a real juniper kick that is delicious, especially in a sort of French martini that substitutes Lillet Blanc for dry vermouth." PAUL PACULT Spirit Journal "An evolving gem in the new, less juniper driven style of gin. Many gin traditionalists despise anything but London Dry, but I urge that you try this intriguing new entry. If I bestowed half stars, I’d rate Nouaison 4 ½." JONATHAN M. FORESTER , for Slashfood.com "The aroma is elegant and refined, clean and pure, like how the air smells right after a Autumn downpour. This is ginny, gin, gin."
