VERMOUTH GUERIN: PINEAU DIFFERENTLY
Crafted from a base of wine mixed with two-year-old Pineau des Charentes, caramelized grape juice, and herbs and spices, then matured in Cognac casks, it brings a new and refreshing style as a vermouth. Their vision is for people to “Pineau differently,” using Guerin Vermouth as a low-ABV aperitif and as a component in their favorite cocktails.
Guerin Vermouth Blanc is crafted from a base of white wine (Ugni Blanc, Colombard, and Montils), two-year-old white Pineau des Charentes, caramelized grape juice, and herbs and spices, including angelica root, cinnamon, cardamom, coriander, nutmeg, and bitter orange peel. It is then aged in Cognac casks for several months. Beautiful clear, shiny golden color. Frank and floral nose with a light green touch, developing notes of hawthorn and green anise. The first sip is soft and warm with notes of white peaches, acacia, and angelica evolving in the long finish.
