Leura Park Estate Dry Vermouth 2019 is a bright Bellarine Peninsula aperitif, built on a crisp white‑wine base then infused with botanicals for a fresh, modern, dry style that’s perfect pre‑dinner or in cocktails. It’s all about lift, savoury detail and refreshment rather than sweetness.

In the glass, Leura Park Estate Dry Vermouth shows fresh citrus aromatics – lemon and orange peel – over light, herbaceous notes and distinctive anise undertones. The palate is light, lean and herb‑driven, with a subtle wormwood bitterness giving a clean, appetising, very dry finish that’s built for mixing but also sips neatly over ice.

For food and serving, this 2019 Dry Vermouth is spot on with olives, salted nuts, tinned fish, anchovy toasts and charcuterie as a simple aperitivo spread. It also makes a sharp local stand‑in for classic cocktails – Dry Martinis, a vermouth and soda with citrus, or as a lifting component in Negroni‑style mixes.
