Even after lockdowns, the idea of hibernating seems to resonate with many as the nights draw in and the days turn colder. I based this blend on gluhwein, which has greater depths of flavour and less sweetness than the standard British version of mulled wine. As my daughter put it, Hibernate embodies the gorgeousness of autumn and winter, snuggling up, getting cosy, being inside with a touch or warmth and sweetness’. For me it also nurtures memories of Christmas markets, particularly in Austria and Germany, with their abundance of gifts, foods and drinks, rich with warming scents and sensations. The sleeping dormouse on the label sums it up!
