WHAT'S GOOD?

• A crowd-pleaser, achieving a perfect balance of depth, body, sharp minerality, excellent acidity and structure

• When the first edition was made in 2015, it was dominantly Sauvignon Blanc, yet the wine had an aroma reminiscent of juniper berries and a bitter aftertaste like tonic water, hence the name!

• Riesling is now more prevalent both in the vineyard and in the cuvée, adding to the wine's precise structure, energy, and aging potential, balancing out its signature depth

• Sourced from a micro-region with sandy loess soil, forcing vines to dig deep for water. This, along with old vines and slow ripening, contributes to extraordinary finesse and vibrancy

• Best served chilled (12-14℃)
