Dr. Loosen Ürziger Würzgarten Vermut 18.5% (70cl)

Discover a truly exceptional expression of vermouth with Dr. Loosen Ürziger Würzgarten Vermut, a groundbreaking creation from one of Germany's most esteemed Riesling producers. Breaking from traditional Italian and French styles, this unique sweet vermouth, bottled at 18.5% ABV in a 70cl format, is crafted from the vibrant Riesling wines of the iconic Ürziger Würzgarten vineyard in the Mosel, infused with a meticulously selected array of botanicals.

Tasting Profile: This pioneering vermouth showcases a brilliant golden hue. On the nose, it offers an aromatic explosion of fresh herbs and spices, including notes of lemon balm, sage, and thyme, intertwined with zesty orange peel and a subtle hint of ginger, all underpinned by the distinctive minerality and stone fruit notes of Mosel Riesling. The palate is a harmonious balance of luscious sweetness, bright acidity, and a complex tapestry of herbal bitterness and warming spices. The vibrant Riesling base shines through, providing a refreshing lift that prevents the sweetness from being cloying, leading to a long, aromatic, and remarkably invigorating finish.

Serving Suggestions: Dr. Loosen Ürziger Würzgarten Vermut is incredibly versatile. Enjoy it chilled and neat as an exquisite aperitif, or over ice with a slice of orange for a refreshing experience. Its unique profile also makes it a superb ingredient in classic cocktails, offering a fresh, German-inspired twist to a Manhattan or Negroni, or simply mixed with soda water for a light, aromatic spritz. It also pairs wonderfully with cheese boards and light desserts.
