First Sip: Saison Red Vermouth

In our next installment of First Sip, we taste Saison Aperitif's Red Vermouth.

Thurman Wise

Today on First Sip, Thurman is tasting Saison Red Vermouth, an innovative small-batch release from a chef-turned-winemaker who’s shaking up the vermouth scene.

With layers of vanilla, burnt blood orange, and over-roasted hazelnuts, this second release introduces smoked fig leaves, cascara, and dandelion to deepen the flavour profile. It’s less about high notes and more about delivering a complex, nuanced aperitif.

Versatile and effortlessly refined, tune in to catch Thurman’s reaction to this unique vermouth and his recommendations on how to enjoy it.
