Dave Verheul is a highly acclaimed chef, who launched the celebrated Matterhorn restaurant in Wellington NZ, worked in London alongside Gordon Ramsay at fine diner The Savoy Grill, and now rules Melbourne’s ‘wine-dining’ scene, where he co-owns the hit restaurant Embla with Christian McCabe. Verheul is also one of the leading lights in Australia’s vermouth movement, producing micro-batches of ‘Saison’ based on pure, singular flavours.
