ELABORATION
The Garnacha grape is the variety that has the most intense concentration of sugars of all the varieties with which we work. In addition, it is harvested late to obtain more ripe fruit.
For the elaboration of this traditional Vermouth, we have rescued an original recipe that our grandfather already used in 1950 and that brings together more than 40 different native botanists, collected from Moncayo and the Pyrenees. Among them is thyme, rosemary, etc.
25% of the vermouth is made with raisined grapes to add sweetness, complexity and body to the vermouth.
TASTING
Very fruity aromas with a lot of complexity; notes of honey and cinnamon, undergrowth, thyme, rosemary and a pleasant finish of dried nuts. Perfect balance between the soft bitterness of absinthe and the sweetness of ripe fruit. In the mouth it is elegant, fresh, with a slight bitterness and light sweetness with a harmonious and balanced finish.
