To Six Dogs, creating gin is not just about the handpicked botanicals, or the custom-designed still, or the molecular technology used to protect the delicate flowers used in the gins. It is about waking up every day and loving what they do. It’s about setting out to make the finest gin possible, one batch at a time. It’s about creating something extraordinary.
Pinotage Stained, the love child of Six Dogs gin and handpicked pinotage grapes, embodies the freshness of a classic dry gin that is enhanced with the infusion of a uniquely South African cultivar. Sip it and you’ll taste notes of black cherry, plum and blackcurrant, with some tannin for structure and complexity. Each year’s harvest of grapes may bring subtle variants in taste and colour, however, the juniper-forward flavour is consistent with each batch.
Perfect serve
Enjoy it neat over ice or dilute with a splash of good tonic to create a fusion of terroir, cultivar, and fine gin. If you enjoy adding garnish, we recommend frozen red grapes or a slice of fresh citrus. Pinotage also pairs well with an artisanal cheese board.
