Saison Vermouth Summer Flowers 2024

Saison is a small batch handmade vermouth that celebrates the bounty of each season. Made in Melbourne by chef turned aperitif nerd Dave Verheul.

Saison was conceived 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 palette of many European producers. Dave’s extensive culinary background gives him a unique skillset when it comes to building vibrant layers of flavour, and a fresh set of eyes on how those flavours are presented.

The sixth Summer Flowers release, how time flies!

This year's release see's this vermouth grow up a touch, having turned down the sweetness and turned up the bitterness slightly. Dave had used the same proven combo of 14 different flowers including elderflower, marigold, jasmine and chamomile - all farmed organically or picked in the wild. Infusions of yellow peach, nectarine and two kinds of wormwood are blended into the Moscato base wine farmed in North-Eastern Victoria. Sweetened lightly and aged resting on yet more fresh flowers.
