"A young Viognier vineyard on Sugarbird Manor in Stellenbosch. Dried flowers, potpourri, dried ginger root, hibiscus, orange peel and strawberry juice. Tastes pretty close to dry with a fragrant peppermint finish. Includes the taste of rooibos tea botanicals as well as the ping and zip of the grapefruit rinds. Beautifully juicy, red shiny maraschino-cherry and nectarine fruit in the middle." 25 g/L Residiual sugar.
The first commercially available Vermouth, and the best on the market. Take neat or on the rocks with a splash of soda. Beware: it can be a bit much for more delicate cocktails.
Carpano's White Vermouth has a bit of sweetness, some citrus, cocoa beans, vanilla, and almond aromas for a complex drink with a slice of grapefruit or topped with Sparkling wine or club soda.
This Ambre du Quebec - a blend of fresh apple juice and oak-aged apple brandy - is produced solera-style, for greater complexity. Similar to the Pommeau of Normandy and Brittany. Pair with lightly funky, good hard cheese!
Dumangin's entry-level Ratafia, the Craft cuvée is a blend of minimum 6-year-aged Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier that sees a further 9 years in barrel before bottling. Great as an aperitif or paired with dessert.
Made of grapes from Gascony, a region renowned for its Armagnac, and packed with citrus-y botanicals, this dry vermouth is great over ice or in cocktails.
A fantastic sipping vermouth, full-bodied, with a complex spiced palate infused into the naturally sweet (but not too sweet!) wines made from the ripe fruit of France's Maury region, just north of Spain. Distinguishes itself with a prominent licorice edge that adds a nice twist to your traditional negroni.
