Padró & Co. Rojo Clásico is a tribute to the vermouth which was sold originally from wine cellars or enjoyed after church every Sunday at noon. It evokes those herby and slightly medicinal aromas which can transport you back, even now, to the atmosphere inside those local bars and cafés. The base wine is made with Macabeo and Xarel·lo grapes from the Padró family’s own vines. After the first winter, they add their special red vermouth herb formula to make a base coupage which is then left to rest and evolve in barrels for between nine and twelve months. These barrels originally contained sherry, after which they were used for a time to transport wine and have now adapted for vermouth storage.
TASTING NOTE
Nose: Aromas of sweet spices, cinnamon and clove, in particular, as well as tones of candied fruits.
Mouth: A creamy and fresh palate followed by memories of slightly bitter Mediterranean herbs.
