Details
For over 40 years, Angove Family Winemakers have been producing Stone's Green Ginger Wine under license in Australia. But did you know that the recipe for this iconic beverage dates back to 1740? Stone's is one of the oldest surviving alcoholic beverage brands in the world, and it's easy to see why it has stood the test of time.
The time-honored recipe remains largely unchanged, and the result is a rich golden brown wine with a powerful pungent ginger aroma. On the palate, the spicy character is quite noticeable, but it's moderated by a softening sweetness. The aftertaste is warming and contributes a certain glow to the palate.
Stone's Green Ginger Wine is perfect for wine enthusiasts who appreciate the heritage and tradition of family-owned wineries. The Angove family has been producing wine for five generations, and their commitment to sustainability and quality is evident in every bottle.
The Story Behind Stone's Green Ginger Wine
The Stone's brand was established in London in 1740 by a man named Joseph Stone. He created a recipe for a ginger wine that quickly became popular among the city's elite. The recipe was passed down through generations of the Stone family, and in the 1800s, it was acquired by the Finsbury Distillery Company.
Fast forward to the 1960s, and the recipe was acquired by Angove Family Winemakers. They have been producing Stone's Green Ginger Wine under license in Australia ever since.
