The Cups Estate Pinot Noir has a wonderful energy.
Fragrant nose yet with a truly 'Burgundian' forest floor / earthy character that balances perfectly with the cherry and plum characters of the fruit.
Thirteen botanicals including native sage, myrtles, pepperberry and The Farmer's Wife Distillery signature native sugarbag honey bestow their magic upon this gin.
Clean citrus characters of lemon and lime are emphasised by the grapes’ acidity, followed by grassy herbal notes of native sage and a sweet floral finish of honey and passionfruit.
More open, enticing and expressive at first approach. Laser-like in its precision. A wine of energy and focus with tropical notes and mouthwatering acidity. Crisp pear, green apple, chamomile and jicama. Saline and fresh, displaying its pure essence without malolactic fermentation and devoid of new oak. Speaks of the sites on our property that attain full ripeness, but never lose their electricity. Tense, electric and satisfying. Full of energy. Almost vibrating.
Even with cards held tight, it displays white peach, lemon zest, white flowers and loquats. Hints of white truffle, lavender and fresh herbed chevre. With air, new aromatics: fresh baked croissant, almond flour and kumquat. Pure, compact and driving; tense and full of kinetic energy. Showing the seemingly endless sunlight and perfect growing conditions of 2018. Lifted and framed by classic Hilt sea salt and electricity on the finish along with touch of structure that is reminiscent today of an Asian pear.
A delicious cane cut riesling - makes for an excellent sticky!
The London No. 1 – one of a handful of gins actually distilled in London – was created to echo the complex and full bodied gins of yesteryear, albeit with a modern twist – a striking turquoise-blue colour derived from maceration with gardenia flowers.
