About
The history of St Raphael dates back to 1830. French Doctor Juppet was working to develop a quinine-based aperitif. After working endlessly late into the night, his sight began to fall. He then remembered the Biblical epitaph where the archangel Raphael cured Tobias of his blindness.
Anxious to regain his sight, he pursued his efforts and placed his new elixir under the holy invocation of the archangel. He thereby recovered his sight and managed to finish the recipe of St Raphael.
St Raphael Rouge Aperitif has a warm, fruity and racy taste. The red wine adds body and gives it its beautiful ruby colour. Quinquina and bitter orange peels add to its flavour and character without overpowering the soft palate. Serve neat, chilled or on the rocks, or in a cocktail.
