El Bandarra Vermut Rosado

Pale salmon pink in colour. The bouquet shows ripe strawberries and raspberries with vermouth and light herbal root notes. Sweet ripe strawberries and raspberries with cream-of-soda vanilla balanced with lightly bitter herbal (bay leaf) rootiness and white wine acidity. The palate brings raspberry fruitiness, light acidity and herbal notes. Fruitier and lighter in style with distinctive berry fruit and vanilla on the finish.

El Bandarra is the brainchild of the Virgili brothers – the 6th generation from the Casa Berger Winery, which was set up in 1878 to the west of Barcelona. For 57 years the family sold their much-loved, craft vermouth in bulk to small neighbourhood cellars before in 2014, the brothers decided to bottle it, brand it and launch it to the world. Vermouth (or Vermut as it is called in Barcelona) has taken Spain by storm in recent years. A brilliant blend of wine, herbs, fruit and botanicals, it is the perfect aperitivo and great for sharing. Fusing heritage with craft production, the Virgili Brothers use their own locally grown and harvested grapes plus a selection of native botanicals to make El Bandarra, using the same recipe that their grandparents created in 1962. The brothers aim was to pay homage to the nostalgic golden age of vermouth in the 50’s, whilst also showcasing the winery’s modern approach, vermouth’s versatility and the ‘good time’ positioning it has garnered among the young and old as ‘Barcelona’s Cocktail’.
