Picture a bright summer morning in the Orange district of New South Wales, where lemon trees and wild desert limes scent the dry air.
Regal Rogue Lively White captures that exact moment of Australian sunshine and freshness in the glass.
Expert's Description
Regal Rogue Lively White is an Australian organic vermouth with an ABV of 16.5%, based on unwooded organic Chardonnay from the Orange district of New South Wales.
The vermouth is made by Regal Rogue, which has redefined classic European vermouth craft with Australian wine and native botanicals since 2011. The Chardonnay is blended with lemon myrtle, desert lime and native thyme, rounded out with elderflower, lemongrass, grapefruit and chamomile. The vermouth is semi-dry, sweetened with raw organic sugar rather than the refined white sugar typically used.

Did You Know?
Did you know that Regal Rogue's native botanicals, such as lemon myrtle and desert lime, are sourced directly from Aboriginal communities in Australia, so that part of the revenue goes back to the local harvesters?
