DUBONNET
Dubonnet is a classic French aperitif-style aromatised wine, first introduced in 1846 in response to a quinine-fortification challenge for soldiers. It blends fortified red wine with quinine, herbs and spices, producing a sweet yet herbal and slightly bitter profile. With an approachable 14.8% ABV, it is ideal for both sipping lightly chilled and mixing into cocktails. Elegant, historic and versatile, it brings complexity and heritage to any aperitif moment.

Nose
Rich dark berries (raspberry, cherry), gentle herbal undercurrents (tea leaves, blackcurrant leaf) and a subtle quinine-tannic bitterness.
Palate
Smooth fortified wine base delivers jammy red fruit, orange peel, gentle spice and herb-inflected bitterness, underlined by cane sugar sweetness.
Finish
Persistent with a mild bitter-quinine line, lingering dried fruit and spice, leaving a refreshing herbal-citrus echo on the palate.
