"A young Viognier vineyard on Sugarbird Manor in Stellenbosch. Dried flowers, potpourri, dried ginger root, hibiscus, orange peel and strawberry juice. Tastes pretty close to dry with a fragrant peppermint finish. Includes the taste of rooibos tea botanicals as well as the ping and zip of the grapefruit rinds. Beautifully juicy, red shiny maraschino-cherry and nectarine fruit in the middle." 25 g/L Residiual sugar.
The family that created Barolo Chinato still keeps their recipe secret. This is the best way you can finish a meal: single-vineyard Barolo macerated with spices and herbs to create a spectacular bitter wine amaro. Sometimes called the best after-dinner drink in the world.

The ideal replacement for long-defunct Kina Lillet. Not only is this an exceptional apéritif (rocks, orange slice, perhaps a splash of soda), it's just the thing for a Vesper (or the brilliant Corpse Reviver #2, but beware: in the words of cocktail legend Harry Craddock of the London Savoy, "Four of these taken in swift succession will unrevive the corpse again.")
