Maidenii project was born in Australia from the meeting of two personalities respectively linked to the world of spirits: Gilles Lapalus and Shaun Bryne. The first, after 30 years of experience in natural winemaking matured between France, Italy and Chile, directs the biodynamic farm Sutton Grange Winery in the Central Victoria region. The second, enthusiastic consultant and recipe creator, recognized as the most important bartender in Australia, is the manager of the Gin Palace in Melbourne.


The company takes its name from the famous English botanist Joseph Maiden, who lived between 1859 and 1925; Maiden, about twenty-one years old, landed in Australia, more precisely in the uncontaminated territory of New South Wales, deciding to dedicate the remaining part of his life to cataloging the flora of this incredible area. The company philosophy provides as a basis for Vermouth, the use of biodynamic wines, fortified with brandy deriving from the same wine marc.
Then we pass to the infusion of botanical elements, as many as 34, of which 12 are endemic to the Australian territory and can boast a use that goes back to the ancient aboriginal tribes: among these, those that most characterize the production of MAiDENii are the seed of acacia, celery, Australis mint, eucalyptus and strawberry. Each of these vermouths represents a set of unique characteristics and fragrances, perfect to be tasted during the aperitif, either alone or in revisitations by the most famous cocktails such as Negroni and Martini.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
