Created with McLaren Vale Chenin Blanc at its base, 78 Degrees Distillery's Dry Vermouth displays many of the flavours that this variety showcases: ripe stonefruit, citrus and herbaceousness. It also adds a great mid palate of fruit characteristics on which to carry the botanicals.
 
Chenin Blanc is aged in old oak and stainless steel with the distillery's modern blend of Torino inspired roots, herbs and spices. From here this Dry Vermouth gets its distinct Australian air by utilising the French method of adding salinity in the form of karkalla, resinous herbal notes of native thyme and a rounding off of undertones of honey and nuts imparted from roasted wattleseed, tying all of the botanicals together with the varietal characteristics of the Chenin Blanc.
 
Perfect for martinis or as an aperitif.
