Our process / Northern France to England

From vine
to bottle.

French wine grapes, saved from the press and distilled in England. Four careful steps create the bright, mineral character of Renais.

A different beginning

Most gin starts with neutral spirit. Renais starts in a vineyard.

Every bottle begins with the Watson family's French wine grapes. The skins are collected after pressing, then redistilled with natural botanicals to give winemaking material a second life.

Nothing goes to waste

After the grapes are pressed for wine, their skins are saved and given a second life instead of being discarded.

Distilled in England

The grape skins are redistilled with eleven natural botanicals in a slow, careful process that protects their distinct character.
