Gentian (Gentiana lutea, G. scabra)
An Alpine flower native to central and southern Europe. We use the root.
Bitter, bitter, bitter, but lovely. (Just like some of the best people we know).

Autumn is quite possibly the busiest time of year for us at the Vermouthry. Once we wrap up with vintage, we fortify wines with their master tincture to transform them into vermouth.

Vermouth - neat or on the rocks - we love it.
Served at the right temperature, without any ice, vermouth drunk neat can shine as an aperitif and is excellent matched with all kinds of flavours and textures.

Often the forgotten ingredient in a cocktail, ice is as important as the spirit and the vermouth :)
Serving two essential purposes: to chill and to dilute, we love working with different kinds of ice: Cubed, Crushed, Rock, Spear & Punch.*

This is Strawberry Gum, (Eucalyptus olida), its flowers are cream coloured with small woody capsules. The glossy green leaves are intensely aromatic.
We use Strawberry gum, a native Australian botanical, in our Dry, Classic and Sweet Vermouths. #drinkvermouth

With Cabernet as its base wine, our sweet vermouth uses grapefruit, mace and Angelica root in its botanical make-up.
It has aromas of spice mainly nutmeg with citrus and dark berries on the palate and is lovely over ice with a slice of orange.

It could be stating the obvious but it’s Friday and to us, that means a Negroni or two…

Artemisia Absinthium or Grand Wormwood is the key botanical in making Vermouth. At Maidenii, we do things our way and do use Wormwood and other traditional botanicals in our drinks alongside Australian native botanicals. To find out more:
