Description
A distinctive vermouth made from pineapple quinces, an underappreciated fruit fermented fresh and wood-roasted to add depth and dimension. Notes of smoky saffron honey, dried blood orange, and bay leaf bring a balanced complexity. A portion of the blend is aged in old pinot noir barrels, adding richness and maturity. This vermouth is built for versatility; elegant enough to shine on its own, and equally at home in a spritz or Negroni.
Saison Aperitifs is a Melbourne based seasonal vermouth company founded in 2020 by chef and bitter drinks specialist Dave Verheul. The philosophy behind Saison is to capture the essence of fleeting seasonal moments and bottle them, using peak-ripeness ingredients enhanced with wild herbs, flowers, and multiple Australian varieties of wormwood. With a background in world-class kitchens, including his own acclaimed wine bar Embla, Verheul brings a chef’s precision and care to every batch. Each aperitif is crafted with intention... how you enjoy it is entirely up to you.
