Our blood orange bitters is back. Just a sensational beverage to enjoy over the summer.

Enjoy it straight up, over ice with a wedge of orange or topped with soda or tonic. You can make a pretty neat spritz with the addition of some prosecco or even team it with gin and sweet vermouth for a negroni-esque cocktail 

Just a lovely complex 'Chinato' style bitters made with aromatised spirit spiked with cinchona bark (quinine) gentian, blood orange, coriander seed and rosemary used to arrest (fortify) the nebbiolo ferment to leave just enough sweetness to balance the bitters.

Technical Notes

Based of Nebbiolo from 2022, essentially fortified during fermentation to arrest ferment and leave about 50g residual sugar. Lots of dried blood orange with cinchona (quinine bark) as the bitters. We also trialed some native quandong plums again.

Drink over ice with a twist go orange or in a gin, vodka or whisky based cocktails.

This is a project that has been quietly bubbling away for a couple of years. Vermouths and aromatised wines emerged when a wine had issues – ploughing various bitters and botanicals covered up the problem and a bit of sweetness pulled it all together.

The idea is to load neutral spirit with heaps of flavour, then fortify the base wine balancing this with sweetness, either added or residual grape sweetness.
