The Wise Distillery is the only Margaret River distiller of
Organic Gin distilled from our own chardonnay and other grape varieties on-site as the base for our spirits. This is done to retain the fruit aromatics of the wine to infuse into our range of spirits. Our dream is to make great, small run gins and spirits to share with you and that we love too. Join us on our journey as we discover the delights of small run dry gin distilling.
Our first Certified Margaret River Organic Gin
The process starts with carefully selected parcels of certified organic Gingin clone Chardonnay grown on certified organic Margaret River vineyards. The grapes are fermented and the wine base is then made at an organically certified Wise winery. The resultant organic wine is distilled giving a base alcohol. This base spirit is then triple distilled with certified organic botanicals being added for the final distil.
This process is time consuming and requires great attention to detail, but it is all made worthwhile when you taste the final product. The exclusion of all chemical preservatives and additives leaves a crystal clear and stunning dry gin. The Wise Organic Gin has a smooth alcohol and is very much in the classic
London Dry Gin style.
The inspiration for a gin mde to organic principles came from customer feedback saying they were unhappy with the quality of mass-produced commercial gins. Tasters of Wise gins raved about the clean, natural aroma and flavour of gin distilled from organically grown Gingin clone chardonnay grapes and pristine Eagle Bay rain water. The Wise gins were essentially organic gins but without the certification. This customer feedback encourages us to set about the process of gaining organic certification of the distillery and the range of gins through
Southern Cross Certified .
Organic Botanicals
One of the secrets to a great Gin is in the botanicals used to flavour it. The natural oils and aromatic compounds are absorbed and infused as the botanicals are steeped and travel through the condensing coil as part of the vapour.
We use 100% certified organic botanicals in our gin. These are chosen from a very few select suppliers who can meet organic certification requirements and who supply the finest botanicals. A blend of Juniper, Coriander Seeds, Cardamom Pods, Angelica Root and Lemon Myrtle were used to flavour this gin.
