BC Spirits "Spirit a Day" #116 - Esquimalt Wine Co. Kina Rouge

BC SPIRITS NOTES

I’m excited today for this one, brand new, just off the line. Esquimalt Wine Co. new Kina Rouge; a blend of 4 year old red wine from the Cowichan, fortified blueberry juice and 10 botanicals. The first quiquina made in Canada since WW2, if you love Dubonnet, you will fall head over heels for this! 

Alcohol - 18.20% / 36.4 Proof

Color - Deep Claret with pink edges

Nose - Sweet spicy raisins, plums and blueberries

Taste - Fantastic base wine with the fortified blueberry juice just adding to the foundation where the balanced and complex botanicals take over

Finish - Sweet fruit but not cloying with dry complex bitterness in the finish

Best Enjoyed - On the rocks with a lemon slice
