Bass & Flinders 2022 Heartbreak Pinot Noir Gin 700ml

Post destemming our pinot noir, we cold soaked the must allowing a wild ferment to slowly strike, increasing the 'pinosity' of flavour - an enthralling combination of fragrance, wildness, softness, elegance, quiet complexity, delicious drinkability and seductive mystery. The small parcel of fruit was then hand pressed and fortified with juniper spirit, ceasing fermentation without the use of preservatives, to create our limited Heartbreak Pinot Noir Gin release.

Classic Gin botanicals such as juniper, coriander, pepperberry, angelica and calamus root form the foundation to ground our Pinot Noir ferment in the Gin World, while rosemary and sage are used as the perfect herbal accompaniment to bridge the gap between pinot noir and fine dining. French oak, cocoa nibs and strawberry gum round out the palate and accentuate the bright strawberry and raspberry notes affiliated with pinot noir's around the globe, as well as violet and lavender notes that reflects the Tuerong Plains where our parcel of fruit was grown and harvested.

Our 2022 edition of Bass & Flinders Heartbreak Gin is vibrant ruby with purple hues due to cooler growing conditions and is an incredibly complex and perfumed gin, with notes of sweet red fruit, spice and floral highlights. Sweet spice carried by our eau de vie grape-based spirit distilled on site sweeps through the palate, opening up into brooding dark pinot noir fruits finishing pleasantly textural and savoury with juniper, herbal and oak nuances. Think fresh, floral and fruity.

Bass & Flinders Heartbreak Gin - a modern Australian gin that exudes everything you'd expect from our local premium Pinot Noir producers plus more. A true Spirit of the Mornington Peninsula.
