Description
Six Dogs Pinotage Stained Gin
With their Pinotage Stained Gin, Six Dogs have made excellent use of their neighbours Pinotage grapes (a uniquely South African cultivar), combining these with their gin to create something truly delicious.
Their gin, which has generous quantities of juniper and fresh citrus, is distilled in small batches before being introduced to the grapes. The whole pinotage grapes are rested with the gin for a period of six weeks, which allows the gin to absorb the deep red essence of this grape.
This innovative process ensures a sublime combination of flavour and character, which easily appeals to both gin and wine lovers.
The aroma of the gin is enticing, warm and earthy - with a hint of grape and pine. The taste sensation really brings out the freshness of a classic dry gin but adds something uniquely South African; the pinotage grape. Sip it (and we recommend you do!) and you’ll taste delicious berry notes (black cherry, plum and blackcurrant) along with a hint of tannins. Deliciously complex flavours which will have your taste buds dancing!
Good to know: As grapes represent the terroir of the area, as well as the climate during a particular year, each harvest of grapes will have subtle variants in taste and colour. However the distillers ensure the rich juniper-forward flavour is
consistent with each batch.

Perfect Serve
We recommend trying this one neat over a couple of ice cubes, and enjoying slowly. However, if you like your drinks a little longer, or perhaps more refreshing - try with Three Cents Dry Tonic Water. Fill a glass with ice and add 50ml of gin and 100ml of the tonic. Stir gently, and garnish with a slice of lemon and a few red grapes (frozen ones are perfect)
