Production This Wein Goutte’s Vermouth batch #7 batch, the first release of their iconic vermouth since they have relocated to Germany. Upon settling in Hüttenheim, one of the first things they have started working on was bringing their own giant garden to life, in a field next to the barn. They now cultivate 700m2 of vegetables, fruits, aromatic & medicinal herbs all year long. In this garden they grow the majority of the herbs that can be found in this vermouth. Additionally, there were many plants already growing in the Nussbaum area, like lemon balm, sage, lavender, and numerous elderberry tree, which they have picked the flowers from. Like the previous batches, this vermouth is meant to capture a photograph of the seasons passing. In the spring, they pick the first round of plants coming alive after the winter months: elderflowers, young mint, lemon balm, pimprenelle, etc. Then in the summer, basil, lemon verbena, rosemary, sage, lavender, many flowers, lots of shiso, everything goes.
Additionally, they now use their own alcohol made on the farm, since their partners are the owners of a still and produce schnapps every year. In this case it was a grape distill made of Silvaner from vintage 2021.
Tasting Note For optimal experience, treat vermouth like wine. Recork it if you don’t finish the bottle, keep it in the fridge, drink it within the week.
