L.A.S. VINO VERMOUTH

One of the most unique vermouths in Australia—possibly in the world!
 
The journey of creating this vermouth began with the immersion of Vermentino grapes in water from the Indian Ocean, adding a subtle hint of salinity to the wine. After soaking, the ocean water was drained, and the fruit was cold-pressed and transferred to barrels for fermentation. Both primary and secondary fermentation took place in barrels, developing richness and complexity, and the wine rested in oak for 18 months before the addition of botanicals and sugar to balance the salinity from the time spent in ocean water.
 
Months were spent trialing different botanicals to find the perfect match for this vermouth. The selected botanicals were native plants collected from the seaside, including saltbush, sea rosemary, and peppermint for flavor, alongside traditional wormwood and gentian for texture and balance. Finally, a touch of dried blood orange was added for aromatic complexity.
 
This is a sweet vermouth crafted from Vermentino grapes infused with ocean water and native botanicals from the coastline—a unique coastal creation.
 
Only 200 bottles were produced. Enjoy it neat as an aperitif, with an ice cube, or craft one of the finest Negronis by adding 1 part gin, 1 part Campari, and 1 part vermouth over a large ice cube with a slice of orange.
