Esquimalt Rosso Vermouth - 3 Litre Box
Founded by Michela and Quinn Palmer, Esquimalt Vermouth is distinguished as the first non-European producer in history to win World's Best Vermouth titles. Their winemaking philosophy blends traditional Italian Rosso Vermouth techniques—drawing on formulas from long-forgotten 19th-century houses—with a modern, empirical approach. This unique methodology involves separately extracting the flavours from thirty-two different botanicals before blending them into a continuously aged Solera system, ensuring precision and consistency in every bottle.
-
Colour: A rich, deep red or Rosso hue, consistent with traditional Italian sweet vermouth.
-
Aroma: The nose is lovely, aromatic, and savoury, hinting at the complex botanical blend. Additional notes of plums, figs, and oranges are present, layered over dark spice and brown sugar.
-
Palate: The mouthfeel is notably very wine forward, indicating a strong character from its base of fortified blueberry-blossom mead. The judges noted it as 'very ripe and delish', balanced by a pleasant herbalness and spicy accents of white pepper, cloves, and star anise.
-
Body & Finish: Possesses a creamy, rich texture and a complex, lingering finish that features nuances of rosemary, cinnamon, and cola, which roll smoothly into the next sip.
