Ferdinand’s Saar Dry Gin (Magnum 1.5L)
An award winning range of products from the 200 year old Avadis Distillery, infused with Riesling from the 275 year old Zilliken winery; Ferdinand’s owes its name to the Prussian District Forester, Ferdinand Geltz, who also co-founded the VDP Mosel Saar Ruwer Zilliken estate, one of Germany’s finest vineyards.
Carefully hand-picked Riesling grapes from the steep shale slopes of the Zilliken estate on the grand Saarburger Rausch site make our gin a unique taste experience.
Pot still production in small batches. The raw distillate produced from their own grain is distilled several times to form the basis for a selection of 34 hand-picked herbs, spices and fruits, which are carefully macerated to produce an eau-de-vie. The additional use of a steam infusion of freshly harvested herbs adds unique fresh floral notes to their gin, which is rounded off with a precise measure of Schiefer Riesling. Having been left to rest for a period of 4 weeks in stoneware, Ferdinand’s Saar Dry Gin is set to a drinking strength of 44% abv using demineralized water, then finally bottled.
Ingredients: 34 regional botanicals (thyme, sloe, rose hip), pot still distilled, proprietary grain spirit made from a blend of wheat, rye and spelt, Riesling wine infused.
Tasting Note: Aromas of pine and juniper, pungent lavender, lemongrass, lemon meringue, vanilla, and coriander

Château Belle-Brise, Pomerol 2020 (Magnum 1.5L)
Dressed in a deep ruby robe with hints of black reflections. The nose reveals a bouquet of black cherries, with a touch of violet. The attack is both powerful and silky, well-controlled, voluminous, rich, smooth, and with remarkable freshness, offering pure fruitiness, enhanced by floral and spicy nuances. Excellent aging potential.
Château Belle-Brise, Pomerol 2019 (Magnum 1.5L)
Beautiful and robust! The emerging bouquet, yet complex, evokes underbrush, ripe red and black fruits, violet, and roasted coffee. The palate offers a perfect balance between power and finesse, between perfectly ripe grapes with high-quality oak and silky, tight tannins highlighted by a stimulating freshness. A Pomerol made to last the decade. A true elegance. Superb.
