Quinta de Ventozelo Craft Dry Gin (50cl)

A craft gin from Quinta de Ventozelo in Portugal's Douro region, made from botanicals chosen after the estate's own aromatic plants were identified. They include juniper, lemon thyme, lavender, coriander and mint. The botanicals are macerated in a wine spirit distilled from the estate's wines, which gives the gin a base tied to the Douro. It is sold in a 50cl bottle. The nose is fresh and herbal, with notes of undergrowth, aromatic plants and orchard fruit. On the palate, lemon citrus, mint and lemon thyme sit alongside deeper juniper and lavender. The wine spirit gives a supple texture and a lingering finish.
