Fabulous gin

The Niepoort wines with the artistic "Fabulous" labels are among the best known and most successful in Portugal. In cooperation between Dirk Niepoort and the Hamburg wine merchant Dirk Delventhal (Weinoutlet), a separate "Fabelhaft Gin" has now been created for the first time. This gin is a harmonious addition to the wine range, because the most important of the 9 botanicals used, the rockrose is hand-picked in the Niepoort vineyards in the Douro Valley and sent to northern Germany.

Here the gin is produced in a small, renowned distillery. The distiller says, "We still distill traditionally in a 100-liter still. All botanicals are distilled individually and then later blended according to the recipe. Before that, the nine botanicals were macerated for several days. In the case of the cistus, we also add some of the macerate to the finished product. This increases the complexity of the product and enhances the spicy, but also fresh components."
