The West Winds Pinque Rosé Gin 700ml
“Pinque” sums up this sublime, cabernet sauvignon-infused rosé-coloured gin perfectly. Red wine, rose petals and strawberry gum in a gin? Of course, when the inspiration is a delightful, chilled rosé: red berry spice combining seamlessly with cinnamon, lemon myrtle and orange peel to produce a gin that is very much about the spirit of Margaret River and a spirit looking for an adventure. Dry, complex, multi-dimensional yet very approachable, and worlds away from the sweet novelty gins out there masquerading as “wine-driven”. And “Pinque” was the French term for a particular type of 18th century sailing ship. Works for us.
A ‘serious’ pink gin that is all about gin flavour and not sugar (!), utilising botanicals such as Strawberry Gum, Vanilla Pod, Cinnamon Quill, Lemon Myrtle and Orange Peel with a backbone of red berry fruit from the addition of the Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Pinque gin has a lifted perfumed nose with red berry, sweet spice, and a hint of orange, with underlying aromas of juniper and Citrus add balance and depth. The palate is flavoursome and plump, with strawberry fruit freshened up with a Citrus backbone and finishing with soft vanilla characters.
