First produced in 1873, Byrrh Grand Quinquina was created by brothers Pallade and Simon Violet in the small French town of Thuir in the Languedoc region of southwest France, in the heart of French Catalan territory, near the coast and border with Spain. Today it is still produced in Thuir and in accordance with the original recipe that earned fame both in France and overseas, thanks to the “wine archaeologists” at Haus Alpenz. Byrrh is created by macerating South America quinquina bark, exotic spices and botanicals into a base of Muscat Mistelles, (un- fermented grape juice) and local Grenache, which is then matured in oak casks. The fruit-forward wine lends natural sweetness (so no additional sugar is needed) and provides its refreshing balance of fruit and spice.
