Gutter&StarsGutter&Stars Wildflowers Vermouth

A rich, herbaceous and floral vermouth with an incredible balance of acidity and depth, built to show off the oak-aged Chardonnay underneath it and the wildflowers alongside it.

Wildflowers is a collaboration between Gutter&Stars urban winery and Vault Aperitivo; this striking and layered white vermouth is one of a kind.

Made from a base wine of Crouch Valley-grown Chardonnay from the 2023 vintage – aged in ex-Burgundy oak barrels for 30 months – it takes its botanical cues from locally-grown flowers, herbs and plants.

Each distinctive botanical has been sourced by growers from the east of England, and they include magnolia, saffron, elderflower, fennel, bay, lemon balm, wormwood, thyme and cola plant.

Enjoy on the rocks, with a dash of good tonic water or as part of the ultimate wild-foraged martini.

Gutter&Stars’ winemaker and founder Chris Wilson had wanted to start his own winemaking business for some time, and searched for the perfect site for a small-scale urban winery in Cambridge, the city he’s lived in with his family since 2013. In 2020 a golden opportunity came up to house the winery in the basement of a Grade II listed windmill less than a mile from the city centre, and work began turning this octagonal cave into the city’s first winemaking facility.
