Tears in Rain
Varietal: Picolit
Region: Bendigo, Victoria
Country: Australia
Format: 500ml
ABV: 11.5%
Passionfruit, pine and honeyed granny smith apple. The palate is reminiscent of preserved lemon, sharp, tangy and salty but with a great nutty depth and citrus concentration. A little bit of volatility on opening which dissipates with some air. Drink as an aperitif with a plate of oysters or with a large bowl of cacio pepe if a main is in order. Also works amazingly well in a dry martini, 30ml Tears in Rain, 60ml Barry Gin, stirred for 55 seconds and finished with a lemon twist. The drink aptly named Barrys in Tears.
