Yzaguirre Rojo Reserva Vermouth 1000 ml

The Yzaguirre Rojo Reserva Vermouth (1 L, 18% ABV) is a sophisticated, oak‑matured Spanish red vermouth—luxuriously smooth and aromatic, combining rich herbal, spice, and ripe fruit layers with balanced acidity and a toasted, velvety finish.

🍷 Key Highlights

• Appearance & Maturation: Deep mahogany‑red hue, aged for 12 months in oak barrels, which imparts remarkable consistency, depth, and character

• Aromatics: Intensely aromatic with herbal, woody, and spicy notes—think cinnamon, rich herbs, gentle balsamic, and a dash of ripe fruit 

• Texture & Palate: Velvety and plush on the palate; initial flavors are soft and harmonious, with well‑integrated acidity; nuanced wood, herb, and spice notes reminisce of ripe fruit

• Herbal Complexity: Crafted with an exclusive blend of nearly 80 botanicals—including gentian, cilantro, dittany, nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon, and vanilla—creating depth and multi-layered flavor

🍸 Drinking & Pairing Suggestions

• As an aperitif: Serve well-chilled over ice with a twist of orange and a sprig of mint—classic Spanish vermut preparation 

• In cocktails: Ideal for upgrading a Manhattan or Negroni—his oak-aged richness enhances depth and complexity .

• With food: Elegant alongside meat stews, game dishes, seafood paella, shellfish, or even drizzled over desserts and pastries 

🌍 Why It Stands Out

• Spanish vermouth style: Exemplifies the Spanish approach—slightly sweeter, fruit-forward, herbaceous, and oak‑rich compared to drier Italian counterparts 

• Heritage & quality: Produced by Bodegas Yzaguirre since 1884 in Tarragona, using traditional methods and secret botanical recipes 

• Exceptional value: excellent quality for bartending or sipping .

✅ Final Take

Yzaguirre Rojo Reserva is a refined, oak-aged red vermouth that beautifully blends herbal complexity, fleshy fruit, and subtle wood spice into a velvety, versatile spirit. It shines as an aperitif, elevates classic cocktails, and complements rich dishes—perfect for those seeking Spanish vermouth with character and elegance.

From Yzaguirre, "Since it was founded in 1884, Yzaguirre has been making its products in accordance with the traditional methods and exclusive formulas that are the secret to their flavors and aromas, while at the same time innovating and updating the processes that underline the high quality of all our products.

This commitment to quality has facilitated the company’s expansion in both the Spanish and international markets, and we now have a presence in 35 countries in Europe, Asia, the Americas and Africa.

At our Sort del Castell winery in El Morell, between Reus and Tarragona, we follow a meticulous production process to make our range of Yzaguirre vermouths: Classic, Reserva (aged in oak barrels for one or two years), Premium Rosé and Francisco Simó y Cia, the last being made following our other traditional formula. We also make a wide range of top quality sangrias, fortified wines, bittersweet dressings and red wines from our own vineyards in the D.O. Costers del Segre.

We invite you to savor all the flavours that we obtain from the most select grape varieties and our secret blends of herbs and spices. Every palate will be able to identify its favourite flavour: the sweetness of cinnamon or vanilla, the slightly bitter taste of dittany of Crete, the exotic aromas of cardamom, gentian and cilantro, or the fiery warmth of nutmeg."
