Flavour notes

In the glass, Byrrh Grand Quinquina shows a ruby-red colour with dark reflections. The aroma brings together muscat notes, woody accents, dried fruit and red fruit preserve, followed by darker fruit tones such as cherry, plum, blueberry, raspberry and dried cranberry.

The palate is rich but not heavy. Fruit sweetness and a jam-like wine structure are held in check by a firm quinquina bitterness. Vanilla, sage, dried oregano, paprika-like spice, liquorice, bitter chocolate and coffee or espresso notes add depth. The finish lingers with dry spice, root-like bitterness and persistent quinine.

Product info about Byrrh Grand Quinquina

Byrrh Grand Quinquina is a French red quinquina, an aromatised wine aperitif rather than a vintage wine. Its character is built around Roussillon wines, mistelle, quinquina bark, botanicals and spices, with muscat mistelle adding a fruitier, sweeter element to balance the dry bitterness of quinine.

The drink is closely tied to Thuir in French Catalonia, in the Roussillon near the Spanish border. Byrrh dates back to the 19th century, when the brothers Simon and Pallade Violet created a wine aperitif based on quinquina. Grand Quinquina is positioned as a recipe that looks back to the original late-19th-century style of Byrrh: wine-led, bittersweet and aromatic.

At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see this as an aperitif with real personality. Serve it chilled or over ice, optionally with lemon or orange peel. It also works with tonic or soda water and brings a bitter-fruited depth to mixed drinks. Blue cheese is specifically mentioned as a food pairing.

Its style has been recognised beyond France as well: Wine Enthusiast awarded Byrrh Grand Quinquina 93 points, highlighting concentrated dark fruit, spice and a lingering espresso-like bitterness.

About BYRRH

Byrrh is a traditional French brand best known for its aromatic, fortified wine aperitif. The brand was founded in 1866 by brothers Pallade and Simon Violet in the southern French town of Thuir, located in the Occitanie region near the Spanish border. Byrrh was originally conceived as a health drink based on red wine, to which cinchona bark and various herbs were added. Due to the use of cinchona bark, Byrrh acquired a mild bitterness, which distinguished it from other French aperitifs such as vermouth and Dubonnet. Throughout the 20th century, Byrrh grew to become a beloved aperitif wine in France and beyond, thanks in part to its distinctive, lightly sweet and spicy taste. In the 1960s, the well-known beverage group Pernod Ricard took over the brand, which led to expanded production and distribution. Traditional Byrrh is still produced in the historic cellars of Thuir, where one of the largest oak barrels in the world can be found. Byrrh is often served neat, with a slice of orange or as a base for cocktails, and in recent years has experienced a revival among classic aperitif enthusiasts.
