Why It’s On Our Shelves
Norfolk’s answer to port – deep, rich and beautifully bold
Produced in Norfolk by Archangel Distillery →
Introducing Cardinalis, a fortified sloe wine like no other. Made using hand-picked wild Norfolk sloes and expertly crafted into a rich, full-bodied wine fortified to perfection, this bottle sits proudly alongside the finest sloe gins and fruit liqueurs – but with a character all of its own.
Unlike traditional sloe gin, Cardinalis is fermented like wine before fortification, creating a complex profile with notes of dark plum, cherry, almond and subtle spice. Smooth and warming, it’s ideal as a port alternative, a luxurious after-dinner drink, or paired with Norfolk blue cheeses, chocolate desserts, or charcuterie.
Made in small batches with a deep respect for seasonal ingredients and local fruit, Cardinalis is a true Norfolk original – a drink that bridges the gap between British sloe gin and fortified wine, offering something bold, unexpected, and incredibly moreish.
Perfect for Christmas hampers, fireside sipping, or gifting to someone who’s tasted it all.
