Leopold Brothers Sweet Wermut

Wermut is the German word for wormwood, which was
often used as an ingredient in the aromatized wines of
the 16th century. The French pronunciation of vermouth is what many aromatized wines are called today.
Wermut, however, refers specifically to those made with
Grande Wormwood.
The Leopold Bros x Matthiasson Wermut is possibly
the most indulgent expression of wermut ever created.
Starting with a base of Steve Matthiasson’s 100% organic, barrel-aged Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, Todd then
blends in both California pear and Colorado peach
brandies distilled on the historic Three Chamber Still—
the first to be produced this way in over 100 years.
From there, the Grande Wormwood is infused, along
with white pepper, vanilla, green mandarins, Rooibos
tea, rose petal, chocolate, ginger root, and Belgian candi
sugar. The resulting wermut is incredibly fragrant on
the nose, running a full spectrum of fruit flavors and
exotic spices. The texture is full-bodied and slightly tannic, showcasing the structure of the Napa Cabernet.
