Mascaro Vermut Premium 0.75L 15% Everything in family hands Far to the north of Spain lies the autonomous region of Catalonia, surrounded by the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean. The geographical conditions are therefore extremely advantageous for winegrowing and the mountainous coast is home to the wine-growing region of Vilafranca, which is famous for Cava, the Catalan version of champagne. The Mascaro brand is relatively young, having been founded in 1946, but the company behind it can look back on a long tradition as a wine merchant. At the beginning of the 20th century, the company, led by Narcís Mascaró Marcé, one of the founder's sons, bought vineyards and installed a distillery. So everything from growing the grapes to bottling and selling was in the hands of the family. The special thing about the Mas Miguel winery is that it is one of the highest in the region. The climate there is colder and windier, so the grapes are protected from certain diseases and the use of pesticides can be reduced, which of course has a positive effect on the quality of the wine. A blend for success The special thing about each vermouth is the recipe, the ratio of bark, flowers and herbs. One ingredient that must always be used by law is a type of artemisia, the wormwood herb, which is also responsible for the distinctive taste. Extracts are obtained from all ingredients by soaking and steeping in water or alcohol; distilling these extracts is also a frequently used technique. The extracts obtained through distillation also have the advantage of raising the alcohol content to the required 15-16% vol. The trick is to find the perfect balance between wine and aromas, and to do this, the two can be stored in barrels for a few weeks. Surprising fruitiness The finished vermouth has a pleasant balance between sweetness, acidity and bitterness in the finish. The intense citrus aromas are striking, bringing a wonderful freshness and fruitiness to the spirit. In addition to the typical spicy aroma of vermouth, fruity accents of juniper and orange peel are noticeable.
