White Flowers Vermouth

17% ABV / 750mL

Saison Aperitifs is a Melbourne-based small-batch aperitif producer founded by chef Dave Verheul, best known for his work at Embla. The range centres on vermouths and amari made from core seasonal ingredients and infused with botanicals that reflect the Australian seasons. Each expression starts with a base fortified wine (often Victorian moscato) and is built with foraged or locally grown elements, bittered with Australian wormwoods and aged using techniques drawn from Verheul’s culinary background. The resulting aperitifs lean fresher and lighter than many traditional European styles, with distinct, ingredient-driven flavour profiles that can be enjoyed neat, on ice, or in cocktails.

White Flowers Vermouth is a bianco-style vermouth made with a blend of Victorian moscato and Frontignac base wines and infused with a mix of aromatic white flowers including jasmine, elderflower, white rose and chrysanthemum, that are wild-picked or organically grown, plus an infusion of locally grown white peaches. The fortified wine is bittered with fresh Australian wormwood and rested in stainless steel before bottling. Enjoy over ice, with tonic, or as a component in cocktails.
