Tasting Note
Generous lemon verbena and candied pink grapefruit notes are underpinned by deeper tones of artichoke and angelica with a gentle, bitter-orange finish. The Vermouth offers a dry, fruity and bitter accompaniment to Seven Sisters Gin and works well in a cocktail such as a Sussex Martini, or as a stand-alone drink, served with tonic or simply in a glass over ice.

How is the Dry White Vermouth Made?
Our Dry White Vermouth 2018 is a product of Rathfinny Wine Estate’s sister brand, Seven Sisters Spirits. The Vermouth is crafted from a blend of a rich base wine of Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc, and a grape spirit, made by distilling a white wine of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. The result? Once this unique and delicious base is infused with a carefully-chosen selection of herbal botanicals you have an extraordinary and balanced dry, white Vermouth of great depth, complexity and with a rounded mouth-feel.
