Timbal Extra Dry Vermouth 17% 500ml Catalan Aperitif
| Description: | History,. About Vermut de Reus Birthplace of Antoni Gaud, the provincial city of Reus lies an hour southwest along the Mediterranean coast from Barcelona, in Tarragona. A market hub, it rose to prominence when the phylloxera scourge struck France and demand for Catalan wine exploded. By 1900, the expression Paris, London and Reus denoted the epicenters of the contemporary wine trade, and it was from these roots that Reus evolved to become a center of vermouth production to rival that of Torino and Chambry. Prior to the outset of the Spanish Civil War, there were some thirty firms producing vermut in Reus alone. Today, Vermut de Reus is amidst a second renaissance, and the Spanish passion for la hora del vermut (vermouth hour) shows no sign of abating. The wines retain a distinctly Catalan character, and can be made in either a primary or lightly oxidative style. While *seco* (extra dry) and *blanco* are produced, it is the *rojo* (sweet red)-style that is still the staple of patrons at every vermuteria. Made with botanicals familiar from olives Exceptional in the classic Martini Truly dry no added sugar Producer is from historic center of vermouth production in Spain. Tasting Notes,.

Mix 1:1 with Haymans London Dry Gin for a briny Martinino orange bitters or olive juice required! Combine with Bonal for an intensely mineral, mouth-filling aperitif. |
