Original Spirit Co Ginfusion Blood Orange is a rich and unique medley of citrus — juicy blood oranges and exotic Japanese yuzu carefully blended with the Original Spirit Co’s award-winning classic dry gin, made from 100% premium natural ingredients on the Mornington Peninsula. Deep, sweet, and deeply satisfying, this is a flavoured gin of genuine complexity and character, born from the same family story and From Land to Hand philosophy that defines everything the Richartz family produces.
Appearance
Rich, deep blush — the vivid, inviting colour of blood orange in full season.
Aroma
Juicy blood orange leads with depth and richness, whilst the Japanese yuzu adds an exotic, floral citrus lift that elevates the profile into something genuinely distinctive. The award-winning classic dry gin botanical backbone provides structure and balance beneath the vibrant citrus character.
Palate
Deep, sweet, and satisfying — blood orange and yuzu in a medley of citrus complexity that is both rich and refreshing. The classic dry gin base ensures the finish is clean and balanced, with the yuzu adding a lingering exotic note that sets this gin apart from any conventional citrus expression.
Serving Suggestions
Forget the tonic — just add ice and soda for a quick and sophisticated cocktail. For something a little fancy, garnish with a sprig of rosemary and a pinch of sea salt. Also exceptional with premium tonic and a twist of blood orange, or over ice as a long, refreshing summer drink.
The Ginfusion Blood Orange is crafted at the Original Spirit Co distillery on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula using 100% premium natural ingredients — no artificial flavours, no shortcuts. Juicy blood oranges and exotic Japanese yuzu are carefully blended with the distillery’s award-winning classic dry gin in small batches, true to the Richartz family’s founding philosophy of From Land to Hand. The distillery uses a German-made copper pot still, imported in 2007 when the family officially incorporated and obtained their manufacturer’s licence — a fitting tribute to the German distilling heritage that inspired the entire venture.
Producer History
Barbara and Christoph Richartz, both originally from Germany, founded the Original Spirit Co on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula in 2007 — but the story begins much earlier, in the memories they carried with them from the Mosel wine region. Barbara’s father converted apples from their family orchard into cider, apple schnapps, and a special herbal digestive. Christoph recalls being sent with his four siblings into the local forest to forage for wild raspberries, blackberries, and sloe berries, from which his mother created delicious sweet liqueurs. It was these memories — of family, of craft, of the land — that made both Barbara and Christoph want to replicate that experience in Australia. Small-batch processing began in 2002, with the whole family and friends involved in varying herb mixtures and maceration times. Something was still missing, so Christoph contacted a German master distiller, who accepted the family’s invitation to visit Australia. The missing piece was distillation. In 2007 the distillery was officially incorporated, a German-made copper pot still was imported, and the real journey began — from a premium harvest digestive to a multiple award-winning gin range. The Richartz family’s mantra says it all: From Land to Hand.
