Description
The late 19th to early 20th century was the “Golden Age” of French aperitif wines known as “quinquinas” or “kinas.” Kinas were originally created to make quinine more palatable when administered to soldiers in the disease-plagued “colonies.” They took on a life of their own as producers found combinations of ingredients that delighted the public and they took on their own styles following the tastes of the regions in which they were produced.
TASTING NOTES
It has a beautiful deep golden hue with an aroma of quince and fine marmalade, and a complex, mildly bitter taste that teases the tongue as its well-balanced sweetness and viscosity prolongs the finish.
