What were we to do when the warm and luminescent 2020 vintage delivered up a glut of stellar Pinot Meunier from our 'Grand Cru' site Mount Harry in East Sussex? A precognition Dermot had many years ago came to him: make a single vintage, single variety, single vineyard gin – a gin for wine lovers. Working with Silent Pool Distillers in the Surrey Hills, we selected botanicals that best complemented our beautifully ripe grapes: Serbian juniper, coriander, angelica root, clove, black cardamom, wild forest pepper, rosemary, jasmine, and lavender. We let the vintage wood-fired boiler and copper still work their magic. Precognition Gin emerged from the steam-filled haze. A London Dry Gin in style, it's pure and juniper-led with a smoky, floral top note that's perfect in a Martini or a gin and tonic. We always keep a bottle and a set of glasses in our freezer for emergencies. Man, after all, cannot live on wine alone.
