It's a flavored wine with a lot of tradition, so much so that it dates back to the XNUMXs, when the winery Remei Castle it was already known. For its wine products but also for other drinks like the one it now recovers, nothing more and nothing less than a classic vermouth. The recipe is as old as the Catalan winery family is, the most traditional dedicated to aging in Catalonia. Below we describe what this new bottle looks like with a lot of nostalgia for that time and with a lot of flavor.
Tribute already from its label
The truth is that from the outside, this classic vermouth reminds us of times of yore. The label on its bottle is a tribute to 1920, when Remei Castle it produced wines, spirits and vermouths. In the municipality of Penelles (Lleida), the tradition of the Catalan wine estate continues to this day. Protected your products by the Denomination of Origin Costers of the Segre, what they want with this new drink is to captivate new consumers.
Its vermouth is the result of a very particular selection of wines from the Macabeo variety, chosen for their lightness. It also incorporates botanicals such as holy grass, gentian, blessed thistle or gypsy herb and even spices. Nutmeg, saffron or orange peel. All these ingredients give rise to the historical novelty of Remei Castle, recovered now.
In its production process, the aforementioned herbs are macerated for one and three months to achieve an adequate potential before fusing that maceration to the base wine. The result is a vermouth of a 15% volume of alcohol in which those herbaceous notes stand out.
