The Story: Born as a vibrant, sun-soaked extension of a winemaker’s dream, this deeply expressive spirit—officially known as S de Sorgin—is a benchmark producer from legendary Bordeaux vintners François Lurton and Sabine Jaren. Following the global acclaim of their flagship Sauvignon Blanc-infused gin, the duo set out to craft a seasonal masterpiece that breaks traditional rules by elevating a premium neutral wine spirit base. Named after the Basque word for "witch" (Sorgin) to honor Sabine's southwestern roots and the lively spirit of regional celebrations, this pink expression captures the flawless harmony of French winemaking and modern distillation. The gin owes its beautiful pale pink hue and bright acidity to a meticulous infusion of natural, seasonal botanicals, specifically pairing the wine base with succulent pink grapefruit, French cranberries, and sweet French figs.
Why You'll Love Me: It balances a classic, pine-fresh juniper backbone with an incredibly seductive, creamy and red-fruit-driven edge. Showing off an elegant, natural blush tone without any synthetic syrup additives, it bursts from the glass with lively aromas of zesty pink grapefruit, ripe banana, exotic lychee, and a touch of cracked black pepper. On the palate, it delivers a beautiful, uncommonly voluminous and silky medium body that is instantly cut by a laser-beam core of tart cranberry, orange peel, and fresh figs. It gracefully sweeps into a long, complex finish defined by a mouthwatering clean minerality, a touch of greedy fruit sweetness, and a signature hint of clean, lingering herbal dryness.
