Vermut Tintorro

Wine Description for Vermut Tintorro by Wachisnais

Colour & Appearance

Sparkling cherry red with bright, slightly brownish reflections – a wine that hints at its fortified nature already in the glass.

Nose

Here unfolds an impressive aromatic panorama: blackberry, raspberry and sweet cherry dominate initially, accompanied by plum jam and warm baked fruit. Vanilla and cinnamon bring classic vermouth spice, whilst whole milk chocolate and cocoa butter provide depth. With air contact, vegetable notes of fennel and artichoke develop, along with smoky hints and the typical ethereal freshness of After Eight and salmiak.

Palate

Surprisingly elegant and fine-boned – the taut acidity lends this vermouth, with its 15.5% ABV, a remarkable lightness. Slender and racy in character, marked by sage, rosemary and thyme. Cranberry and barberry bring tart fruit, whilst the sweetness remains discreet on the mid-palate. Overall, it comes across refreshingly dry – atypical for many vermouths and thus particularly versatile in use.

Finish

Long and ethereal with liquorice, mint, eucalyptus and that characteristic After Eight note that runs through the entire wine.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Based on Tempranillo and Albillo from Ribera del Duero – an unusual, yet successful foundation for a Spanish vermouth that combines the fruit intensity of the region with the botanical complexity of the genre.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Its dry, herb-driven character makes it the ideal companion for tapas, particularly chorizo, Manchego and marinated olives. Excellent too with grilled vegetables, artichokes or lamb ragout with rosemary. Served as an aperitif with tonic and orange zest, it reveals its full potential.

Special Features

This vermouth by Wachisnais impressively demonstrates that the genre can do far more than sweet bar classics. The dryness and elegance make it a modern food vermouth that reinterprets Spanish tradition.
