Aperitifs with vermouth is almost a religion in Catalonia. For this reason, many winemakers in the area decided to produce Catalan vermouths as part of their wine catalogue.

Catalan vermouths are characterized by being macerated in high-mountain herbs. The ratio of sweet and sour ingredients is well balanced, so that it leaves a harmonious aftertaste on the palate.

Wormwood is the fundamental basis for any aperitif wine. It is a Mediterranean shrub that has been used since time immemorial for its medicinal properties. It was once known to be called “the mother of all herbs” for its healing benefits.

Our quintessential Catalan vermouth is Clarea, an aperitif wine with a seductive amber color that reflects ocher tones.
The fresh aromas of citrus stand out on the nose, such as kumquat, orange and a bouquet of Mediterranean herbs, rockrose, rosemary, thyme, with subtle hints of low dry forest.

The entry into the mouth is sweet with a soft mid palate, and a bitter fresh vegetable finish.

The grape variety we use to produce our delicious Catalan vermouth is the Pansa Blanca, the characteristic grape of the DO Alella. These aperitif wines have an alcohol content of 13.0% and should be served cold, between 4-7 ° C.
