Matthiasson Sweet Vermouth (375ml)

Batch No. 6 is a non-vintage solera blend of the 2016 through 2021 vintages. The older wine gives the dried fruit and spicy-nutty flavors, and the younger wine is more vibrant with fresh fruits. For the Vermouth No. 6 we also used a small amount of Viognier, which was harvested as raisins and fermented whole cluster.

To complement the natural grape aromas of the Flora we made infusions of our own home-grown blood oranges and sour cherries, along with Organic coriander seed that we purchased. The infusions were made in a base of high-proof neutral grape spirits.The bittering was mainly done by adding an infusion of our own home-grown cardoons and wormwood (grown at our winery), but we also purchased chinchona bark and Organic blessed thistle to infuse for a little more complexity. The infusions were added into the wine right before bottling.

The Napa Valley Sweet Vermouth No. 6 makes a great boulevardier, blood and sand, negroni, manhattan, or even better, can be served neat as an aperitif or to accompany dessert.
