Tomato Vermouth

600 bottles produced. 18% ABV   LIMITED RELEASE - once this sells out, it won't be back until Summer 2025 We brought in two types of tomatoes in 2023 - Purple Cherokee Heirlooms for their decadent, savory meatiness, and Early Girl Tomatoes for their concentrated flavor and perfectly balanced acidity. These were infused in grape spirits for a few months before pressing and mixing with our 2023 Chardonnay and barrel aged for 5 months. In May of 2024, we picked young tomato leaves to infuse, which lend an herbal, vegetal, and almost minty character. That was rounded off with Kombu (a type of seaweed) to give it a touch of brininess and amp up the umami, and a quick infusion of red beets, which impart a pleasant earthiness and a tinge of color to the vermouth. The result is unique, delicate, and bright. On the nose, you get the savory note of the aromatic tomato leaves. On the palate, you’ll notice the flavor of the young tomato leaves, followed by a distinctly tomato finish that lingers. Perfect in tomato martinis, but can also be used in place of any dry vermouth for a super savory tomato kick. Use it in savory cocktails to amplify umami, or mix it with citrus or fruit flavors to build depth and complexity.
