Description
Kina-Salal is the sequel release to ESQUIMALT’s famous quinquina, Kina-Rouge—the first quinquina-style wine made in Canada since WWII and a Double-Gold Winner at the 2021 San Francisco World Spirit Awards. In this new seasonal release they crushed 100kg of wild Salal Berries, foraged on Vancouver Island by Ben and Célia of Forest for Dinner, and aged the Salal on their blueberry-blossom mead for 3 months before finally adding coriander, orange peel, blueberries, and of course quinine. The final blend was then aged for an additional 5 months before bottling.
