Macabeo & Friends, Terra Alta, Spain
If, like us, you’re experiencing Spain from someone else’s Instagram story, do the next best thing (short of booking a flight) and whip yourself up an apertif with this deep, umber-hued vermouth from Casa Mariol. Made from Macabeo from a 100 year old solera with sun-dried green walnuts and over 150 local herbs, this is a fuller-style of vermouth with complexity, lightness and a savoury edge, friendly to cocktails everywhere! Nutty, concentrated and raisinated, think notes of cola nut, apples on a spit, black cherry, mulled orange peel & clove. Put a Spanish spin on a Negroni, pair with seltzer, orange and an olive, or simply enjoy on the rocks with a twist.
