Information & Character For Myrrha Rojo they use a base wine made from their own grapes, to which they add a careful selection of botanicals. They then age this vermouth blend in old wooden barrels to give it body. This gentle rest in wood is also what allows them to appreciate aromas of vanilla and mountain herbs in the vermouth as well as a hint of the exquisitely piquant, spicy-sweet flavors of cloves. Soft caramel color with shades of amber. Balsamic vinegar, anise and mountain herbs appear in the aromas. When shaken, aromas of spices, such as vanilla and cloves, emerge, obtained during the rest period in the wood. Caramel-like essence with candied fruits.

Suitable for: Suitable as an appetizer or an excellent choice for finger food.

About the Producer

The Padró family's winemaking dates back to 1886 and to the village of Bràfim (Tarragona), which at the time was a bustling agricultural hub with around 400 inhabitants. The very first sales were of wines and liqueur wines loaded onto carts in large but simple barrels and sold directly from there by the first generation of winemaking Padrós: Daniel Padró Porta (1846-1890) and his wife Rosa Valldosera. At that time they ran a fairly humble establishment with just a press and a small amount of distillery equipment to make spirits and anise liqueurs. The fifth generation, is currently in charge of the winery.
