TASTING NOTES:
NOSE: It displays an intense, dry and attractive aroma where, of all the plant types, vanilla and lavender are emphasized.
PALATE: Pale straw in colour. In the mouth it is very dry and directly dominated by notes of star anise and nutmeg.
FINISH: The post taste is intensely bitter accompanied with the right amount of acidity that gives it an excellent freshness. Ideal to drink with ice and tonic water or in classic cocktails like Clarito.
Elaboration Process
Our Vemouths are made using a selection of botanicals.
In total, we use 32 botanicals, 22 of which are native to our area. After a long period of maceration with aromatic herbs in clay amphorae, we obtain the “essence”, which is LA MADRE (mother), the base for our Vermouth. This essence ages for a few months in barrels to enhance its aromas.
Later on, this essence is blended with carefully selected wines to make our LA MADRE Vermouth.
DISTILLERY:
We are grape growers, village people. It is also true to say that we are wine, we are nature and that LA MADRE Vermouth is a fusion of wine, nature and enthusiasm too. It is made with grapes, botanicals and lots of passion.
We are and we feel young, we love our traditions and gastronomic rituals. We like to chat with our friends and have a laugh.
We love the Vermouth hour leading up to lunch. We are LA MADRE Vermouth and we love going out for tapas and meeting up with friends. We love mixing.
We are adventurous, self-taught and we are from an unknown paradise called TERRA ALTA to the south-west of Tarragona, where the Mediterranean influence can be felt in all its grandeur. We are LA MADRE (mother), she who engendered this Vermouth. WE ARE VERMOUTH-MAKERS!
