About This Wine
FOUR, named for its numerical order of release in Forthave’s Single Batch line, celebrates the gentian-forward apéritifs of France in true Brooklyn style by combining imported and local botanicals.
Crafted in Brooklyn, New York, this blend features over 20 botanicals, including dried gentian root from the Massif Central in France, lavender flowers from Goode Farm in Ballston Spa, New York, cherry blossoms from the Hudson Valley, elderflower, chamomile, and rose petals. The base is a certified organic, non-GMO sugarcane spirit from Brazil. Gentian is macerated for several months, with all botanicals either macerated or distilled in a 400-liter bain marie hybrid pot still. The final blend is sweetened with French grape must and raw cane sugar, and then rested for months before bottling. No added coloring ensures the aperitif’s natural beauty shines through.
Floral aromatics develop into a plush sweetness on the palate with a balanced, bitter ending. It can be used in place of a floral liqueur such as elderflower liqueur or in lieu of a white bitter like a Gentiane.
Enjoy it as an aperitif topped with soda water or sparkling wine, in a white Negroni, over ice, or neat.
2412 bottles produced. 30% ABV.
Available for local delivery and pick up in-store.
