The idea for Ostara English Hedgerow Vermouth was born in the East Sussex countryside where founder Julian Davies grew up.

  • Ostara White

    made with fine English wines and enhanced with grassy green notes primarily from nettles, and a lovely “hedgey” taste of dandelion and burdock. The greenness is balanced out with a citrussy edge given by lemon peel and lavender, and something you’ll recognise from your favourite gin – juniper. Oak chip, meadowsweet and thyme give a rounded, herby finish, all of which is wrapped up in the frisson of wormwood, which is what makes vermouth, well, vermouth.

  • Ostara Red

    Made with white English wine which is enhanced with the addition of “green” notes of nettle and given its amazing red colour and fruitiness by cherry, bilberry, hawthorn berries, and the more “traditional” vermouth spices: nutmeg, cassia, and black tea. You’ll taste the “bite” of wormwood again, and this time a little vanilla at the end for that warming, smooth finish.
