Ochota Barrels Botanicals Of The Basket Range Vermouth 2026

The 2026 Ochota Barrels Botanicals of the Basket Range Vermouth is a distinctive, small production vermouth from the Adelaide Hills, made using botanicals handpicked by Amber Ochota and her children from the garden beside Taras Ochota's former wine studio.

Wild fennel, sage, wormwood, elderflower and lemon balm create a fragrant, gently rustic profile, with layers of fresh herbs, citrus and delicate floral notes. The palate is aromatic and textured, balancing botanical intensity with a pleasant herbal bitterness and lingering freshness.

A wonderfully individual expression of Australian vermouth, equally enjoyable served chilled over ice with a slice of citrus or mixed into a refreshing spritz.
