MARGERUM CALIFORNIA VERMOUTH
MARGERUM CALIFORNIA VERMOUTH.
Late harvest Viognier fermented dry (16% alcohol) and then fortified with grape neutral spirits to 18% alcohol. Racked to neutral barrel and infused with herbs (rosemary, mints, sage, and oregano to name a few), spices (coriander, cinnamon, and peppercorns to name a few), other stuff, wormwood and roots (dandelion, angelica, and gentian to name a few). There are 30 different ingredients. It has been aged three years in barrel. Slightly oxidized, nutty, floral and complete with a complex array of interesting constructs as the wine swirls and changes temperature and shape. Enjoy as an aperitif, use for fish stock or as distinctive part of a Manhattan.
About: Doug Margerum has been involved in the Santa Barbara food and wine scene for over 35 years. Upon graduating from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1981, his family purchased WINE CASK. In 1994 the WINE CASK became one of 74 restaurants in the world to earn the Wine Spectator Grand Award. Doug sold the WINE CASK in 2007.
Doug launched the Santa Barbara WINE CASK Futures Program in 1984, which elevated the exposure nationally of Santa Barbara Wine Country. From 1986 to 1998, Doug owned VITA NOVA winery with Bob Lindquist (Qupé) and Jim Clendenen (Au Bon Climat). In 2001, Margerum Wine Company began in a tiny 240 square foot cold room behind Brander Vineyards. The philosophy: return wine making to its previous form of production – handcrafted and personal.
Margerum Wine Company produces limited quantities of wines made from grapes grown both our Estate Vineyard and grapes purchased from other top vineyards from in and around Santa Barbara County. The 18 acre Estate Vineyard is planted exclusively to Rhône grape varietals. The acreage is divided between limestone hillsides and gravelly alluvial flatlands along Alamo Pintado Creek. The wines are now made at their state-of-the-art winery located on Industrial Way in Buellton. Margerum carefully selects the vineyards with meticulous attention to detail in all factors influencing the ultimate quality of the wines, including pruning, soil, climate, and farming methods.
