Valdespino Vermouth Aperitivo Jerezano

Jerez de la Frontera, Spain

Varietal: 100% Moscatel

Notes: Oranges, caramel, subtle floral notes and a hint of mint. The warmth and subtle woody tones blend in perfectly. There’s the rounded sweetness getting spicier with cinnamon and clove. Walnuts and hazelnuts alongside dried orange peels. Pleasantly bright citrusy notes too. Towards the end a light bitterness (burnt rosemary) and a hint of juniper come out.

Valdespino Vermouth can be enjoyed in just about every way. We love to serve it chilled all by itself. Occasionally we will also just add a little bit of sparkling mineral water and citrus for a lighter aperitif. The bottom line is to have fun with it! Below we have provided a few additional cocktails where you can use Valdespino Vermouth and take your cocktail game to the next level!
