Roselle is the common name for Hibiscus Sabdariffa. It has a bright red calyx which adds colour and flavour along with 23 other botanicals including Australian natives – strawberry gum, Tasmanian pepperberry and salt bush. Its important bitterness comes from various roots, in particular gentian from Aubrac in the Centre of France. The wine base is from Heathcote grapes fermented as rosé, which is fortified with the unique blend of botanical tinctures . The residual sugar, from grapes only, is around 100 g/l, indicating a more Aperitivo style but it is very well suited as a Bitter, to the growing category of low sugar/low alcohol cocktail.

Serving suggestions :
Shaun would definitely have it in a Negroni whilst Gilles would hesitate between a Roselle soda for Aperitivo and neat as a digestive. Joseph Maiden would have agreed with the above, but is eagerly waiting for the 7 bartenders recipe .
