Description

An aromatic and slightly daring revival of a Spanish family classic, Mata Vermouth Tinto Reserva delivers layered complexity and dry depth—offering structured elegance whether served neat, over ice, or showcased in cocktails. Origins & Craftsmanship Revived by Patrick Mata of Olé & Obrigado, this vermouth honors a family recipe from 1880 and is now produced in Spain’s Bierzo region. Crafted in the “French style,” it’s macerated with spices for over 18 months in French oak, allowing flavors to integrate seamlessly through gentle aging. Tasting Profile Grape Base: 90% Mencía and 10% Godello, delivering rich character and balanced structure. Botanicals & Maceration: Infused with an intricate blend including wormwood, clary sage, gentian, saffron, elderflower, star anise, bitter orange peel, cardamom, cinnamon, pomegranate bark, and more—creating nuanced bitterness, aromatic layers, and a smooth finish. Flavor: Notes of macerated berries, forest floor, African spice, cooked plum, blueberry, peach, cinnamon, and herbs define its expressive profile. Mouthfeel: Lightly sweet yet bittersweet—velvety, balanced, with a polished, round texture. Cocktail & Serving Uses Beautiful sipped over ice, Mata Vermouth Tinto also enhances cocktails with depth and herbal complexity.
