These are used to make botanical tinctures using spirit distilled from organic cider apples grown in Hereford. These tinctures are then blended with a handmade caramel made from English sugar and a white wine made from 100% Malvasia grapes, grown and fermented by the Sartori family in Italy’s Veneto region. This small batch production takes place in a converted Victorian glasshouse overlooking the walled garden and the hills beyond.
The vermouth is hand-bottled and numbered and presented in a crystal Vinolok bottle.
