Vermut Celestial

Wine Description for Vermut Celestial by Wachisnais

Colour & Appearance

Deep ruby red with violet and brown reflections – a colour depth that already hints at the complexity of this extraordinary vermouth.

Nose

An aromatic fireworks display of herbal intensity: eucalyptus, mint, thyme and rosemary dominate the first wave. Then fennel, anise and liquorice unfold in fascinating harmony. Bitter orange and grapefruit bring freshness, whilst cinnamon and clove add spicy accents. The medicinal character evokes sage sweets, underpinned by caramel. With time, raisins and dates develop, accompanied by liquorice, dark chocolate and cocoa butter. Black pepper, juniper berries and cranberry form the final olfactory chord.

Palate

Mouth-filling and of impressive elegance. The vermouth unfolds a silky mouthfeel with present grip. Cocoa butter, dark chocolate and amarena cherry dance playfully across the tongue. Despite the 15.5% alcohol, it feels remarkably light and graceful, enveloping the palate completely. The balance between fruity playfulness and herbal structure is masterful. Spekulatius and gingerbread linger long afterwards.

Finish

Remarkably long and clearly defined. The festive spice notes of spekulatius and gingerbread remain present, carried by silky texture and elegant structure.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Based on Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero, artfully aromatised in the style of a premium vermouth. The herbal complexity testifies to careful maceration of selected botanicals.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Excellent with seared duck liver with spekulatius crumble and quince jelly. Also brilliant with warm raisin cake with almond ice cream or chocolate parfait with hot amarena cherries and meringue. An ideal aperitif or digestif.

Special Features

An extraordinary vermouth that masterfully navigates the boundary between aromatised wine and liquid patisserie. The combination of Ribera del Duero Tempranillo with complex botanical composition makes it a unique taste experience.
