Luis XIV Vermut Rojo Dulce, Alicante

A very Mediterranean vermouth: red, soft and aromatic, with pleasant aromas of cinnamon and spices, medium sweet with a long and persistent finish. Made with wine aged in hundred-year-old barrels. 

This vermut rojo dulce style is from the Alicante region of Spain.

Its base is created from Macabeo infused with a selection of botanicals and fortified to 15% at the end of vinification. The botanicals include the classic regional ingredient wormwood, as well as cinnamon, cloves, vanilla and orange peel. The blend includes a 30% component of eight year old oxidised Monastrell from the old cellars. The Monastrell helps creates a pale garnet hue, which is entirely natural, with nothing further added to deepen the colour. The blended wine is aged aged for two months in ancient Fondillón barrels.

Serve well chilled (7 degrees), maybe even with ice and a swirl of orange peel.
