Absentroux Herbal Wine Specialty 750 ML

Introduction

This herbal wine is a brilliant herbal Mindoro green. It has a subtle nectarous zest composed of soothing lavender and verbena, refreshing citrus, a sophisticated herbal undertone with hints of mint and finishing with the bitter notes of wormwood on the nose. It also has citrus-mint sweetness, progressing through cloves and other herbs on the palate. Producer Information At this years South Beach Wine & Food Festival, we stumbled upon the rather distinct absinthe herbal wine Absentroux. The dynamic drink marries the absinthe and wine experiences, with the predominant note being the rich anise taste associated with the former, but the mellow sensations and smooth finish more akin to the latter. Absentroux is produced at Distilleries de Provence, within Forcalquier, France. Its a blend of Ugni blanc, Clairette blanche and Grenache blanc winescoupled with fennel, verbena, lemon balm, juniper, coriander and more. The botanicals are macerated in a neutral spirit, then pressed for essential oil extraction. The entire concoction is then fortified. This process is done by hand, though the techniques incorporate modern technology. Absentroux delivers an alcohol content of 18%so unlike absinthe, this wont knock drinkers to the floor. This proof also makes it ideal for mixing. Whether its in the form of a spritzer, partnered with something hearty like bourbon, or simply imbibed neat theres nothing quite like it on the market. Dont let the bright green colorationsomething common with wormwood spiritsalarm you. You can purchase Absentroux online for $22, with shipping to many US states.
