78/100
The short takeThe bitterness and acidity give the finish some definition. I wanted more bite from a bitter-orange spritz, and the sweetness was too prominent for me.

Who it’s for Drinkers who like their orange spritz sweet, with a light touch of aperitivo bitterness.

- Palate

- Finish
- Long, with sweetness, light bitterness, and acidity all carrying through the close.
The wine
St. Regis builds this from dealcoholized white wine, made from a blend of Spanish grapes, plus sugar and natural flavors. The producer lists Germany as the origin and names vacuum distillation as the alcohol-removal method for its range. The finished drink is a ready-to-pour bitter-orange spritz, built around the Italian aperitivo style.
The most interesting shift is from nose to palate. That chalky aroma sets up the expectation of a firmer, more bitter sip. Once you taste it, the bitterness is mild enough to register as an accent. The acidity comes through most clearly at the end, where it shares the finish with the sweetness and bitterness. There’s some structure in that interplay, and the length gives you time to notice it. It also makes the balance harder to overlook. The sweetness that defines the first sip is still the strongest impression at the end.
78 sits below the median of the 19 hybrid wine bottles we've tasted.
