- Regular price
- $33.00
About This Wine
Northfork Strawberry Wine & North Fork Strawberry Wine Eau de Vie. Strawberry Amaro with nettle, quassia, jasmine, rose, and nutmeg fruit. Suggested serve: On the rocks, or with a splash of soda and a bright citrus slice!
"The story of Daytrip begins with the Mattituck Lions Strawberry Festival - a local carnival devoted to all things strawberry. One year, some 2 tons of strawberries were somehow leftover and, it seemed, destined for the compost pile. Our friend Joey, a Mattituck Lion and the manager of his family’s vineyard, rescued the strawberries and brought us a big tote of strawberry wine. We distilled 100 gallons into a strawberry eau de vie and added it back into the wine with a whole mess of vibrant botanicals. Nettle, quassia, jasmine, rose, nutmeg fruit… leaving that to macerate for a few months before filtering, sweetening and bottling. We thought we were making a Strawberry Vermouth -- the first in a whole series of fruit vermouths we'd release -- that is before the government insisted any vermouth be made from wine grapes. With that, a quick pivot, a detour, a Daytrip Strawberry Amaro was born." -Matchbook Distilling Co.
