ASTOBIZA DRY GIN 750ml

Bodegas Astobiza Dry Gin, 70cl Gin Astobiza buds from a mid springtime dream in 2018. It has been realised here in Northern Ireland for the first time and we are extremely proud at JN Wine to have secured stock from one of Northern Spain's distilleries of the moment. Everything Astobiza vinify and distil are from a single estate philosophy. Astobiza forage and find juniper berries that flourish in the Armentia wood and up in the Sierra Salvada overlooking the Ayala Valley. 6 other botanicals come from within the vineayard itself: grapes, flowers, leaves, blackberries, sloes and tendrils from the vines. The Strawberries and citrus fruit are sourced from the Basque country. A grape based spirit is lovingly crafted by the Moonshiners distillery in the Basque country where the magic of distillation and slow flavour infusion occurs. The resulting gin is a true reflection of one verdure area of Northern Spain. A London Dry Gin in style. A gin with marked character, fresh and citric, balanced and aromatic. Its presence in the mouth presents full and soft with a distinct fresh fruit character tempered by a grassy herbaceous note. A gin with true 'terroir' character. Best enjoy classic; with good tonic and some lemon peel to garnish. ABV
