Siset Vermut Rojo

The Mascaro family are a cava and wine producer located in the area of Penedes in Catalunya. Mascaro are also distillers of fine Spanish Brandies, Marc, Gin and Liqueurs.

Vermouth Siset is made from Parellada wine from their estate "Mas Miquel", former property of the Cistercian Monastery of Santes Creus. This red vermouth is inspired by the Mediterranean forest surrounding the property. The wine spirit used in the production of this vermouth is from the inicial soleras of their founder, Antonio Mascaro, known as Siset, and give structure and body to this product.

With an intense and bright mahogany colour with orange reflections, it has an unmistakable aroma with notes of aromatic herbs and spices. Sweet and balanced taste, with an elegant bitter end.

Excellent as an appetiser and pairs with all kind of tapas. Serve with ice and garnish with an olive.

Vermouth has a long history in Spain, it is one of the nations cultural institutions. La hora del vermut, (the vermouth hour), is the time to drink it, with a few cubes of ice, a slice of orange and an olive. Simple perfection. Fashions wax and wane but we are fortunate that at this moment in time, we are seeing a renaissance in Spain's Vermouth scene.

The Siset is a new vermouth for us, only coming in just before Christmas but it has already become our staff favourite. Made in Catalunya in "Mas Miquel" a former property of the Cistercian Monastery of Santes Creus, Siset is made using Parellada grapes. Parellada is one of the key grape varieties used in the production of Cava and is perfectly suited for the arid climates of Catalunya's vineyards.

Beautiful mahogany in colour with the unmistakable aromas of aromatic herbs and spices. A sweet but balanced flavour profile with an elegant bitterness means that this is great for mixing as well as just drinking by itself. For a lower ABV drinks option, try serving this long with soda water, tonic water or even with ginger beer as a slightly rogue choice.
