Mount Edward Vermouth - $49Vermouth - a summer starter - over ice, a cut of orange or any way you choose ...and your afternoon is made. At Mount Edward we have just put the finishing touches on the first Vermouth to be produced in NZ (we believe). Need further convincing ? Vermouth has started a comeback in both Australia and Stateside of late, as an aperitif/cocktail, more than anything Martini based. Inspiration to produce our own Vermouth came from visit Anna and I made to Australia last year when Mount Edward was invited to exhibit at Rootstock, a cutting edge organic/natural wine fair in Sydney. We came away ideas brimming. It’s a natural fit for us as Vermouth is wine, fortified and infused with botanicals. The better the wine and the more local the botanicals, the better the taste it would seem. Our Vermouth is based around Riesling and Chenin. It's dry with the dominant aromas and botanical flavour of Elderflower, picked straight from our gardens at home on Felton Rd – plus it's organic so is obviously good for you as well. As an Aperitif, over ice, a touch of soda, some orange peel, a negroni or just to make that martini just a little wet ……. get some Gourmet Traveller Feb 17 #1 Vermouth – Max Allen”the first New Wave Vermouth from New Zealand” Bob Campbell 91 points |
