The gin, which is made by infusing 30 organic botanicals with fruity and semi-sweet Schiefer Riesling, is meant to be a distinct reflection of the Saar region of Germany. It has a delicate floral nose and a rich, flavorful palate, with acidic wine-like notes on the finish.
Possibly the first gin to list wine as an ingredient, being made from hand-picked Riesling grapes from the steep shale slopes of the Zilliken estate on the grand Saarburger Rausch site. Master Distiller Andreas Vallendar also employs over 30 finely balanced botanicals taken from the vineyards and their own cultivated plants. Along with the basic ingredient of juniper, other regional ingredients such as sloe, rose winehip, angelica, hop blossom and rose wine make equally important constituents. Exotic botanicals such as almond shell, coriander and ginger round off a complex profile.
