Lustau Rojo Vermut Vermouth 750ml

"A rich Spanish red vermouth with sweet dried fruit, orange peel, aromatic herbs and a nutty finish."

Lustau Rojo Vermut is a little different from your everyday sweet vermouth, and that's what makes it worth trying. Made in Jerez, Spain, using a blend of aged Amontillado and Pedro Ximénez Sherry, it has a lovely richness and complexity that you don't often find in traditional vermouth.

There's plenty of dried fruit, orange peel and warming spice, balanced by aromatic herbs and a gentle bitterness. It's delicious simply poured over ice, but also brings something special to a Negroni or Manhattan. If you enjoy a good aperitif or like experimenting with cocktails at home, this is a bottle you'll get plenty of enjoyment from.

Lustau Rojo has also received 92 points from Wine Enthusiast, adding to its reputation as one of Spain's standout vermouths.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Ripe dried fruit, orange peel and fragrant herbs, with hints of smoky wood and sweet spice.

Palate: Rich and velvety, with dried fruit sweetness, citrus, gentle spice and herbal complexity. The nutty character of aged Amontillado provides a lovely balance.

Finish: Long and gently bitter, with lingering orange peel, aromatic herbs and toasted nuts.

Serving Suggestions

The Spanish way is hard to beat. Pour Lustau Rojo over ice, add a twist of orange peel and enjoy it with a bowl of olives, roasted almonds or a plate of Jamón.

It's also excellent in a Negroni, where its Sherry character adds extra depth, or in a Manhattan alongside a good rye whisky.

For something lighter, top it with soda water and a slice of orange for a refreshing aperitif.

About The Producer

Bodegas Lustau is one of the most respected names in Sherry, established in Jerez de la Frontera, southern Spain, in 1896 by José Ruiz Berrueco.

Lustau has built an international reputation for its exceptional range of Sherries, from crisp Fino and Manzanilla to richly aged Oloroso and sweet Pedro Ximénez.

Lustau Rojo Vermut draws on this experience, combining dry, nutty Amontillado with rich, sweet Pedro Ximénez, both matured using the traditional Solera system.

A selection of ten botanicals, including wormwood, sage, coriander and orange peel, gives the vermouth its distinctive herbal and citrus character.

The result is a traditional Spanish red vermouth with an unmistakable Jerez influence, offering a richer and more complex alternative to many everyday sweet vermouths.
