Maurin Quina Le Puy Liqueur

 Made from the maceration of cherries, quinine and bitter almonds in noble wines with a fruity and delicate bouquet. Can be served cool as an apertif, or as and accompaniment for melon as a starter.

Created in 1884 by Mr. Auguste Maurin in Le Puy. An Italian born artist later created the infamous icon of the green devil as the label for Maurin Quina. A sweet white wine fortified with an infusion of wild cherries and quinine in a neutral grape spirit, with measured amounts of cherry brandy, lemon and cherry juice added. Maurin Quina has a delicate red hue. The subtle wine background elevates an array of tamed wild cherry flavor with light lemon and almond notes.  16% ABV
