Bass & Flinders Distillery has released its new Mistelle Rouge product, a cross between a liqueur and fortified that draws inspiration from French tradition, and reinterprets it through a modern, small-batch Australian lens.
Before fermentation can even start, freshly pressed grape juice from cool-climate red grapes is fortified with Bass & Flinders own grape spirit, aiming to preserve the fruit’s natural sweetness and aromatic intensity. From there, it’s left to rest, resulting in a drink with depth, elegance, and a smooth finish.
“Just pure, velvety seduction in a glass...our latest small-batch obsession and a dangerously delicious new player in your home bar lineup,” stated the company.
“Think dark cherry, black plum, warm spice – the perfect balance of fruit purity and layered complexity. Mistelle Rouge is your new go-to, best served neat to show off its silky depth, but equally at home in a moody cocktail.”
Mistelle Rouge has an 18% ABV, and is now available online at bassandflindersdistillery.com for RRP $64.00 in a 500ml bottle.
