Combining the East Block 200 gin, L’Opera bitter orange, and Rubis Vermouth, this blend ‘The Count’ pays tribute to the classic Negroni.
Featuring all organic botanicals, the Count is a luscious and spicy assemblage of aromatic gin, fragrant Seville and Navel oranges, dark fruits, dried herbs and warm spice. The palate is smooth and round with a pleasant, lingering bitterness.
Sophisticated, yet simple, The Count is ready to serve. Pour cold over a single large ice cube and garnish with an orange twist.
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
