Infused with native regional and vineyard botanicals. The large, steep south-facing slope of the Grand Cru Saarburger Rausch vineyard, it’s rough Devonian shale soil and the cool climate of the Saar are perfect conditions for the beginnings of this fine vermouth.
The minerality and fruit of the hand-picked Saar Riesling, the bitterness of the wormwood and the floral, spicy aromas of the regional herbs and flowers give this selection its unique lightness and elegance.
Handcrafted in small batches with limited availability.
