Bodegas Martínez Lacuesta is a long-established family winery in the Rioja region of Spain. Founded in the late 19th century, the company is known for combining traditional winemaking methods with a strong vermouth-making heritage. Their Vermut Rojo is crafted from wine infused with a carefully selected mix of herbs, spices, and citrus botanicals, with part of the blend aged in oak barrels to add complexity and depth.
Rich amber-red in colour, this vermouth has fragrant aromas of orange peel, sweet spices, herbs, and hints of vanilla. The palate is smooth and well-balanced, with flavours of candied citrus, dried fruits, cinnamon, and aromatic herbs. A gentle sweetness is balanced by a pleasant herbal bitterness, leading to a long, warming finish with notes of spice and orange zest. Elegant and versatile, it is ideal served over ice as an aperitif or used in classic vermouth-based cocktails.
