Saison Aperitifs Spring Rhubarb Vermouth

Saison is a small batch handmade vermouth that celebrates the bounty of each season. We are proudly 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.

Organic rhubarb, early spring magnolias, violets and lavender are blended into Moscato base wine. The vermouth is bittered using two species of Australian grown wormwood and aged on a little more roasted rhubarb along with a heap of fresh spring lilac flowers.

Perfect on its own straight from the fridge or with a large cube of ice. - Saison
