Product Information
Full details
Lustau Vermut Rojo is a premium, artisan-crafted red vermouth designed for enthusiasts who appreciate the intersection of high-quality fortified wine and traditional herbal infusion, making it an excellent choice for sophisticated apéritifs. By utilizing a base blend of dry, nutty Amontillado sherry and sweet Pedro Ximénez, this vermouth offers a balanced, velvety profile that elevates any cocktail or neat serving; however, its robust and distinct profile may be overpowering for those accustomed to milder, more neutral commercial vermouths.

FAQs
Does this vermouth need to be refrigerated?
Yes, as a wine-based product, it should be kept in the refrigerator once opened to slow down oxidation and maintain its flavor.
What is the primary flavor profile?
It is a blend of nutty Amontillado and sweet Pedro Ximénez sherry, accented by herbaceous botanicals like gentian, sage, and orange peel.
Can I use this in cooking?
Yes, its complex profile makes it excellent for deglazing pans or reducing into a savory sauce for pork or game dishes.
Is this a sweet or dry vermouth?
It is classified as a red (sweet) vermouth, though the inclusion of Amontillado provides a dryness that adds significant complexity.
How long will an open bottle last?
For peak quality, consume within four to six weeks after opening when stored in the refrigerator.
Troubleshooting
Vermouth tastes flat or oxidized
The bottle has likely been open too long or was stored improperly; ensure it is refrigerated and consumed within a month of opening.
The flavor feels too intense or sweet
Adjust by adding a splash of soda water or increasing the size of your orange peel garnish to add brightness and dilute the sweetness slightly.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Excellent balance of sweetness and herbal bitterness
- Ideal for pairing with savory charcuterie and tapas

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, serve Lustau Vermut Rojo slightly chilled, ideally between 8-10°C. Because this is a wine-based product, oxygen exposure will degrade its profile over time. Always reseal the 750ml bottle tightly after use and store it upright in the refrigerator. Consume the bottle within four to six weeks of opening to ensure the botanicals and wine base remain vibrant and fresh. It is compatible with most bar glassware, though a wide-rimmed glass or a traditional copita is recommended to allow the complex aromas to breathe.
