Bodegas Martinez Lacuesta Vermouth Reserva en Roble

Notizen des Weinguts: As a special complement to the traditional production method for our vermouth, we have added a brief period of ageing, during which the vermouth matures beautifully in new French oak barrels from Allier, medium-toasted. Ideal as an aperitif, it is best served cold and accompanied by an orange peel and an olive.
Mahogany pale amber reflections. The nose is aromatic, caramel mixture and dried orange peel first, then touch lightly smoked. The palate is balanced, lingering bitterness that invites another drink. Sweet at the entrance and at the end, it highlights the caramel and an earthy touch, roots."

- 95 Punkte, Wine Enthusiast, Kara Newman: „Drinking like a cross between sweet vermouth and Sherry, this is a red vermouth that's aged for seven months in acacia barrels. The end result is a nut-brown hue and distinctly nutty palate that bounces between walnut dryness and pecan richness, finishing with a soft brush of cocoa and a dried-herb exhale.“
