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.
Soft and spicy potato aromas combines with vanilla flavour and a hint of pear. First a mild, but also spicy potato aroma meets a pleasant sweetness. Afterwards aromas of pepper and honey join them. Creamy and spicy aftertaste.
Makes a perfect Vodka Martini (Shaken):
45ml Windspiel Barrel Aged Potato Vodka
15ml dry vermouth, such as Oscar 697 Bianco
Olives or lemon peel for garnish, depending on preference
Add the vodka and vermouth to a shaker of ice, and shake until chilled. Take a chilled martini glass, add skewered olives or a twist of lemon peel to it. Strain into glass.
Lovely ready now dry red. What You expect from down that way with no rough edges and just enough tannin to give it some grunt. Very good value at this price.
Have been buying this wine for years (and years). Consistently delivers a beautiful, savoury rhone wine experience. Definitely punches above its weight. Deep garnet, full bodied, leathery with light spice notes.
Dark, medium to full bodied, with mature flavours starting to evolve. Excellent value, typical Bordeaux wine. Could easily become our house favourite! Delivers very good value for the price.
