Wolfram Ortner's gin family has developed magnificently over the past seven years and currently presents itself in the form of three noble creations.

It all started in 2011 with a purebred London Dry Gin, which also won gold at the World Spirits Award in 2012 - some time before the gin hype that has become a "perennial favourite". The WOB G:in is a classic, rather light dry gin - perfect enjoyment pure or with tonic.

Gin and tonic is known and loved by everyone as an aperitif - as a refreshing drink and mood enhancer for the mature youth with taste.

The WOB Gi:in is a classic London Dry Gin with World-Spirits gold glitter - in a duet, of course, it needs a suitable partner from the tonic faction, and there are several of them.

a year that was anything but an ordinary one is coming to an end. For many it was a threat – healthwise or economically.

Currently, life is damn tough. Admittedly, we can’t „sweeten“ it but we can shapen it  a bit more „spiritual“.

And fortunately we still have such endearing and livable constants such as Christmas and New Year.

The „Nock-Land-Scape“ appears presently as a winter wonderland under a deep blue sky.

The gin flood during the last five years also triggered an enormous tonic wave where parallels to the different gin directions can be found. They could be regarded as the true companion of a New Western Style Gin or London Dry Gin. The quality of the products is also reflected as usual in the price - based loosely on the motto: „Whatever is cheap in not worth anything!“.

This development was reason enough for Wolfram Ortner to develop a gin tonic syrup. The idea behind it: a herb syrup with citrus and quinine which forms a perfect harmony with a London Dry Gin in a dilution of 1:7 or 1:8 respectively. This way pleasure without any rough edges is guaranteed!

A Review

In 1989 the whole fun started – the objective was to produce perfect distillates, set trends and leave milestones as recognisable WOB traces behind through innovation.

The story is widely known: distillates, drugs, coffee and cigar distillates, essences, Parfum de Vie etc. on the one hand – a creative realm of fascinating edgy glass design to the perfect ‚Café dö WOB’ on the other hand. The Ortner DNA is apparent in every single product – and concerning perfumes for example, also smellable.

„You can’t buy courage“ – but the brand new WOB Vermouth by Wolfram Ortner, however, as of now. But what is behind V20?

You do need a little courage: the colour of the unfiltered Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains is rather unusual ... but after the first swallow the impression will certainly change into fascination!

But one thing after the other:the letter „V“ stands for vermouth – the international designation for vermouth  - and the figure 20 for the alcohol content as well as the used botanicals. The basic wine is a Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains with a slight yeast note  - also known as „Sur Lie“.

Although the VERMOUTH DÖ WOB has only got 20 percent by volume, no sugar was added. And the basic wine was also aged bone-dry.

Sensory profile: daring interpretation of a classic vermouth. However with a lot of imagination and sure instinct. An exceptional aperitif on a Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains basis with a floral character and subtle herb and spice bouquet.

Are you brave enough to get addicted? Then you can purchase the V20 at www.wob.at or at our shop in Nock-Land!
