New Gin for Christmas Feasting. And it's from the Historic Goodwood Estate

This year you can  give the Christmas gift of a new Levin Down Goodwood Gin from one of England's most historic stately homes and sporting estates.  

Goodwood Gin uniquely employs genuine English wild juniper and aromatic gorse flowers which flourishes in the Levin Down nature reserve.  

Levin Down, derived from 'Leave-Alone-Hill', is an ancient hill on the Goodwood Estate and is located just north of Goodwood Racecourse and Goodwood House. 

The gin has already begun winning awards, including London Dry Gold and Contemporary Gold at The Gin Masters 2022 blind tasting from over 500 entries.  

Fans of unusual gins will enjoy its distinctive nature.  It is a small batch London Dry style, distilled with mineral water which is naturally chalk-filtered through the South Downs. 

The 43.6% abv strength and depth of flavour from 12 separate botanicals creates a classic and elegant gin. 

Served with tonic and exhilarating long serves to evoke the heady freshness of the countryside and sociable sporting activities of the estate. 

Buy it online from www.Goodwood.com/goodwood-gin at £40 for a 70cl bottle.  The last date for online orders is Tuesday 20 December (currently UK mainland only).  Or visit the Goodwood Farm Shop and be tempted by estate produce, organic meats, award-winning cheeses, craft beers and local treats to complement your festive feasting. 

For those of us who like to learn things, Goodwood is a unique sporting estate set in 11,000 acres of beautiful West Sussex countryside. Owned by the Dukes of Richmond since 1697, it is renowned for its thrilling motorsport events and spectacular horse racing.  

The Duke of Richmond and Gordon has been closely involved in the creation of the gin which reflects the estate's organic farming heritage and gives a proud sense of terroir.  Goodwood Home Farm is one of the largest lowland organic farms in Europe.
