Bonal Gentiane Quina

Bonal Gen­tiane Quina shares many char­ac­ter­is­tics with ver­mouth, amari and char­treuse. That’s because it’s an infu­sion of gen­tian root, cin­chona (qui­nine) and herbs of the Grand Char­treuse moun­tains, all in a Mis­telle base (for­ti­fied wine). Mis­telle is the result of adding alco­hol (usu­al­ly brandy) to the juice of crushed grapes rather than fer­ment­ing them to pro­duce the alco­hol. This tech­nique offers a sweet­er, fresh fruit tone since the fruc­tose has­n’t been con­vert­ed to alco­hol.
