In Galicia, the Celtic region of Spain, the fresh north wind known as the Nordes is said to bring good weather and has inspired our gin. Wild aromatic botanicals have become legendary: the citric elegance of verbena, said to heal melancholy, the freshness of laurel; the gentleness of the sage; the Atlantic breeze of samphire, evoking bygone memories and longings; some eucalyptus leaves; a touch of mint. And a pinch of Galicia travelers: juniper, cardamom, ginger, hibiscus and tea. A unique spirit made partly from wine and seduced by slow maceration. The result is an aromatic gin best enjoyed in good company.
