Aperitif Wine, 'Eclipse - Alpine'

• Limited release wine-based aperitif produced by Veso in San Francisco, California
• Botanicals include juniper, fennel seed, green cardamom, rosemary, coriander seed, black pepper, dried bitter orange peel, and both fresh and dried grapefruit peel
• Base of locally sourced California white wine (variety and source may vary batch to batch)
• Neutral grape spirit distilled in Alameda, California
• Sweetened to 150 g/l using cane sugar
• Citrusy juniper, grapefruit, sage, celery root, and a savory note of finocchiona transition to a spiky palate of licorice root, juniper, cardamom, lemon, and saffron with an earthy, honeyed botanical complexity of alpine herbs
• 18% ABV

Crafted in small batches for Veso’s limited Eclipse series, Alpine is inspired by the versatility of London Dry Gin and the herbaceous utility of Chartreuse and is a perfect wine-based substitute for either. Piney and citrusy with a botanical complexity that recalls monastic herbs and liqueurs, enjoy it simply with tonic water or use it as either a modifier or a base in low-ABV cocktails.
