Vermouth for the Brave New World! The base wine is muscat with infusions of saffron, bay leaf, blood orange, two kinds of Australian wormwood and yep, you guessed it, a sh*tload of organic pineapple quinces! The vermouth is left to age over quinces that have been burnt over a wood fire for added bitter complexity. Just wow.
Saison is a small batch, handmade vermouth that celebrates the bounty of each season. It's crafted in Melbourne by chef-turned-aperitif-nerd Dave Verheul, born from the idea that new Australian vermouth could be focused on fresher, seasonal, singular ingredient-led flavour profiles – rather than the traditional heavily spice and caramel driven palate of many European producers.
