G'Vine Nouaison
G’Vine Nouaison amplifies the aromas of distilled spices, yet retains the sensual and silky grape base and subtle floral notes which set G’Vine apart from all other gin. Superb in a dry martini or in a cocktail, it is an absolute alternative to the classic London Dry gin. G’Vine Nouaison is the world’s first gin made from grape spirit, starring the vine flower. G’Vine Nouaison is named for the vibrant and intense period following the vine blossom, called the setting (Nouaison in French) : the germinated vine flower forms a tiny green berry that fixes itself to the stem.

Fact Sheet
 |
|
| Fluid | 70cl |
| Ingredients | This precious and delicate flower, which exists only for a few days before maturing into a grape berry, is immediately handpicked to preserve its exhilarating and spellbinding fragrance. |
| Alcohol % | 43.9% |
| Making Techniques | As the neutral grape spirit and the green grape flower infusion are nurtured, nine fresh whole-fruit botanicals chosen for their purity, aroma and healing properties are sourced and collected from all over the world. The botanicals include juniper berries, ginger root, liquorice, cassia bark, green cardamom, coriander, cubeb berries, nutmeg and lime. These botanicals are macerated over a period of two to five days by group to extract their purest aromas and distilled in the neutral grape spirit. Small bespoken liquor stills are used to insure the best quality. In September, the grapes are harvested and immediately pressed and converted to wine. The result is then distilled in a column still producing a neutral grape spirit over 96.4 % abv – 192.8 proof. In the final step, the green grape flowers infusion, the botanicals distillates and more neutral grape spirit are blended together in perfect proportion and undergo a final distillation in a copper pot still affectionately nicknamed “Lily Fleur.” |
