Review

This is just gorgeous.  It glows vibrant red in the glass, and delivers up a wonderful bitter orange, astringent taste that offers the same mouth-filling satisfaction as a good Aperol spritz – which is, I’m sure, the feel they’re going for.  I don’t know if Italians have rhubarb but it was inspired idea to use it here – its sharpness offsets the bitterness of peel and the sweetness of orange perfectly.   Mix with a low alcohol sparkling wine (see our reviews) or even a no alc one for a spritz that has all the punch but won’t knock you out.

Makers Notes

The bittersweet flavour of the Italian Spritz is like sunshine itself, bright with flavours typical of its origins. The sweetness from orange is perfectly fused with the complex and astringent flavours of rhubarb, finishing dry and deliciously refreshing.

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Bitter herbs and orange
