Wild-foraged maqui berry boldly lands on the palate with accents from red wine grape skins and forest berries to create a sophisticated flavor with an almost wine-like profile. Maqui berries are a prized source of antioxidants like anthocyanins and have been traditionally used by the people of the Patagonia for vitality and cleansing.

Herbalist’s Note
Maqui berry is used locally in the Patagonia to make wine. It is sometimes referred to as the “Chilean wine berry.” The complex polyphenolics, purple pigments and other antioxidant contents from pressed red wine grapes along with wild maqui berries provide a unique wine-like character when we steep them in hot water. We aim to strike a balance of ripe tart succulence from blueberry and black elderberry with the minerality from rooibos and hawthorn to achieve a dry, red wine-like finish.
