Bitter, Sweet, and Sour—Bright Lemon is an ODE to citrus flavors and blossoms from the Mediterranean. Bright Lemon’s rich flavor is made from seven types of lemons and yellow stone fruits like peaches and apricots. It’s rounded out by bitter barks and roots, artichoke, wild thyme, jasmine and a touch of sea salt. Blended with a Spätlese Riesling from Nico Espenschied of the Rheinhessen, it’s a complex next-level aperitif. An Ode to nature. An Ode to you.

Technical Details

Alcohol: 18.1
Production Level: 100,000 bottles and growing

Vineyard Notes

Sourced from the vineyards of Nico Espenschied in the Rheinhessen region of Germany. The grapes are harvested late with a Spätlese level of ripeness and vinified to be medium sweet.

Production Notes

The ODE aperitif is macerated in organically sourced neutral spirit using botanicals, herbs, bark, and citrus whose flavors are extracted in various different combinations. Some together, some on their own, whatever is best for each botanical. It can take between 3 weeks and approx. 2 months for the product to be made from start to finish depending on the availability of the botanicals. It is blended with Nico Espenschied's Riesling at an undisclosed point in the process.

ODE stays a few days in INOX-vessels, before bottling to ensure freshness.
