Txurrut
Vermouth is a classic aperitivo from Spains Basque Country, rooted in a long tradition of herb-infused, wine-based aromatized wines. Made from a base of local white wine and infused with a mix of botanicals, it leans more savory than sweet, with a distinctly Old World profile.
The nose shows dried herbs, citrus peel, and a touch of spice, while the palate brings gentle bitterness, orange zest, and subtle earthy notes layered over a lightly sweet core. Its balanced and refreshing, with enough structure to stand up in a cocktail but plenty of character to enjoy on its own.
Serve it chilled with a twist of orange or over ice with a splash of soda, or use it in place of sweet vermouth in classic cocktails for a more herbal, slightly drier take.
