Steve and Jill Matthiasson have worked in sustainable agriculture for years and in 2003 started Matthiasson Wines based on those values — purity, sense of place, respect, responsibility, deliciousness. For the Matthiassons vermouth is primarily about the wine — the base wine before the herbs, spices, and fruit exracts are added. The wine is mainly a rare variety named Flora, which was bred at UC Davis by the legendary Harold Olmo back in the 1950’s to be a base for fortified wines. Flora is a natural cross between Semillon and Gewurtztraminer.

The California industry moved away from these types of wines by the 1960’s and Flora fell into obscurity. The temptation to make wine from this rare and historical variety was too much to resist. Batch No. 7 is a non-vintage solera blend of the 2016 through 2021 vintages. The older wine gives the dried fruit and spicy-nutty flavors, and the younger wine is more vibrant with fresh fruits. The perfect addition to your bar cart to be added to your favorite cocktail or sipped on over ice.
