Our New Field-to-Glass Artisan La Mare Gin

We are thrilled to introduce our latest creation—a gin that truly encapsulates the heritage and history of Jersey. Our new ‘La Mare Gin’ is not just any gin; it’s a unique spirit that we’ve crafted from the very essence of our island, using organically grown apples harvested directly from our estate’s own orchards.

The Spirit of Jersey

Unlike most gins that are distilled from grains or potatoes, we wanted to do something different, something that honours Jersey’s rich apple-growing tradition. Dating back to the late 18th century, when orchards covered 16% of our island, apples have always been a part of our history. By choosing apples as the base for our gin, we’re not just making a spirit—we’re celebrating a piece of Jersey’s past and bringing it into the present.

Triple Distilled

Every step of the gin’s journey—from field to glass—happens right here on our estate. This means that each bottle is a true reflection of Jersey’s heritage. We start by creating an apple-based eau de vie spirit, which then goes through a meticulous triple distillation process in our Alembic Charentais Distillery. To this refined spirit, we add a carefully curated blend of botanicals, including pink peppercorn, orange and lemon peel, chamomile, and cassia bark. The result? A gin with a light, floral, and earthy profile, perfectly balanced with a fruit-forward flavour and a classic botanical finish.

Trace Back to Source

Our commitment to sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We employ environmentally friendly farming practices, and we’re working towards organic certification from LEAF. For us, it’s not just about making a great gin—it’s about doing it in a way that respects our land and our environment.

Sustainable Farming

Our Head Winemaker, Jordi Sanvicens Moreno, has poured his passion and expertise into this creation. “It’s always very special when you can create something from start to finish in one place,” he says. “I wanted to craft something that truly reflects Jersey’s heritage and history. This ‘La Mare Gin’ is a testament to our commitment to sustainable farming and artisanal production. It captures the very spirit of Jersey.”

Try La Mare Gin

We invite you to experience La Mare Gin for yourself. Pair it with a refreshing tonic and a sprig of fresh mint or cucumber. This combination brings out the gin’s delicate floral notes, creating a crisp and invigorating drink that transports you to the serene beauty of Jersey’s landscape.

You can find our premium gin exclusively at La Mare Wine Estate and Maison de Jersey.  With small batch production, this is a limited offering for those who appreciate artisanal craftsmanship and a spirit that’s truly homegrown in Jersey.
