Lustau Dry Vermut White - Jerez, Spain
A sophisticated and distinctive dry white vermouth from Bodegas Emilio Lustau, one of the most respected names in Sherry. Unlike many vermouths, this is built on a Sherry base, blending a crisp, mineral Fino (or Manzanilla-style) wine with a touch of Moscatel for aromatic lift, then infused with a carefully selected mix of botanicals.
The result is a vermouth that is fresh, savoury and gently bitter, with aromas of citrus peel, chamomile, rosemary and almond, alongside subtle saline and nutty notes from the Sherry component. On the palate it is light yet complex, showing herbal freshness, bright acidity and a clean, dry finish with a lingering, slightly bitter edge.
Base wines: Fino/Manzanilla-style Sherry and Moscatel
Style: Dry white vermouth (aperitif)
Alcohol: ~15% ABV
Drink window: Once opened, best within a few weeks (keep chilled)
Perfect for: Martinis, aperitif on ice with an olive, light tapas, almonds, olives
Botanicals:
Wormwood, chamomile, rosemary and citrus peel are among the key botanicals, giving the wine its signature herbal, slightly bitter profile.
Serving note:
Serve well chilled over ice with a green olive or citrus twist, or use in a very dry Martini - it’s particularly well-suited to those who like a more savoury, saline style of vermouth.
Herbal, crisp and quietly complex - a Sherry-based vermouth that brings real depth and dryness to aperitif drinking and cocktails.
