Vermouth

Monastrell made in 80-year-old conofors (think dairy tanks but made of American oak). The base wine is macerated with fennel, sage, clove, and others to which alcohol and caramel (for color) are added. Filtered by gravity and, following tradition, made in a slighty oxidative style which gives the wine its very unique character.

 

 

"“I love some particularly rich, dark, rooty-barky vermouths on their own or with soda,” said Rosie Schaap, a writer and bartender who until recently wrote a cocktail column for The New York Times Magazine. “But they’re too assertive to get involved in, say, a manhattan.” For one of her favorite assertive vermouths, the Primitivo Quiles Rojo from Spain, she created a light, fresh cocktail with grapefruit juice, tonic and bitters."
