Beautifully bottled with a cork lid and a neck ring, Windspiel Premium Dry Gin is a stunning fruity gin from Western Germany. Windspiel is handcrafted from a potato base and is named after the breed of dog kept by Frederick the Great kept who brought the potato to Germany. Their locally grown potatoes cultivated in rich volcanic soils are converted to a mash which is then heated and mixed with yeast to start the conversion to alcohol.
Rich with lots of juniper, some lavender, well balanced and rich with a quite flowery character. Classic juniper berries, lemons and coriander combined with potatoes cultivated in rich volcanic soil result in a traditional gin flavor that is mild and delicate. To give it a special character, cinnamon bark and lavender as well as other botanicals have been added to a secret recipe of the master distiller.
It´s very enjoyable neat and works really well as an extra Dry Martini.
We've been fans of their Syrah and Chardonnay for some time and this is another go-to product we'll add to the list.
Light in colour, but plenty of depth and flavour and pleasingly dry.
Highly recommended.
I haven’t tried every bottle in this selection yet, however, so far they are all very tasty. I’m a Chardonnay lover, always on the look out for a dryish not sweet wine and these are just right for me. An excellent mixed case and we’ll priced.
This was a very nice surprise in Wine Direct’s very welcome Plenty Under $20 category. Beautifully fruity, rich and smooth. Often the Plenty Under $20 range is a little light for the depth I like but I will definitely be reordering this one.
A great summer wine… elegant and a fine balance of lighter fruit and delicate acidity with a nice dry finish. Very drinkable with or without food. A nice change from our usual unoaked French Chardonnay
