Belsazar Red Vermouth is a luxury vermouth made from, among other things, muscatel from Kaiserstuhl and Markgräflerland, which is flavored with various herbs, flowers and fruits (e.g. wormwood, which gives a slight bitterness) and strengthened with fruit brandy from Schladerer in the Black Forest before resting in stoneware containers . A good sweetness comes from the addition of unfermented grape must, which gives a far greater aromatic complexity than normal sugar.
