Rock Tea
Gin

2020

Presenting a gin that embodies our country’s most jagged landscape, distilled in a wine spirit made of Parellada and Ugni Blanc grapes from Penedès. We go into the Pyrenees to pick the violet juniper berries. There, growing in the stone crevices of the harshest terrains is the botanical that makes our minimalist gin unique: rock tea, with its many healing properties. Jasonia glutinosa is an aromatic plant popularly used in the Mediterranean to make liqueurs, ratafia and herbal teas, with digestive properties.

 

Fruity, floral, resinous, balsamic and mild, this gin is made with only two botanicals: Pyrenees juniper berries with a radiant quality and woody notes; and rock tea with a very special camphor aroma. The Parellada-Ugni Blanc wine spirit from Penedès is the ideal backdrop for the balanced burst of flavour of these botanicals.

TASTING NOTES

  • Made with only two botanicals, this minimalist gin captures the refreshing feel of a walk in the mountains, as you tread over the lush green of the meadows, brushing past trees and shrubs laden with balsamic resins, flowers and fruits. For precisely this reason, we have avoided the neutrality of alcohol, opting instead for the aromatic complexity of the raw wine spirit, which is made from Ugni Blanc and Parellada grapes. For its part, the rock tea is not intended as a nod to the El Celler. Rather, we’ve reached the conclusion that it is one of the most complex and representative species of calcareous mountains.

  • PERFECT SERVE
    GIN & TONIC

    A gin very far removed from London, with the prominent presence of juniper berries and rock tea, along with the sharp vitality and imprint of the distilled wine aroma, give rise to a straightforward yet very smooth Gin & Tonic with a cool and cheerful Mediterranean personality. This G & T very much evokes a walk in the mountains, with the touch of autumn’s sea breeze.

    PREPARATION

    Combine the gin and the tonic in a Collins glass or balloon glass filled to the top with ice.
