WINE MAKING PROCESS
Frederiksdal Vermouth af Kirsebær begins with a base of cherry wine, made from Stevns cherries cultivated on the Frederiksdal estate. This cherry wine is then blended with a unique infusion of botanicals and spices, including wormwood, fresh orange and lemon peel extracts, vanilla, cinnamon, Arabica coffee beans, and aniseed. A significant part of the blend is Frederiksdal Rancio, a component that undergoes a multi-stage aging process: first in glass balloons outdoors for 12-24 months, followed by maturation in a Solera system using old cognac casks. This meticulous approach to aging and blending contributes to the vermouth's complex character.
