Les Cousins Vermut Donzell · 1L
Les Cousins Vermouth Donzell is a sophisticated and modern expression of the traditional vermouth, created by the innovative Les Cousins Marc & Adrià winery in the heart of Catalonia, Spain. This vermouth reflects the creative spirit and passion for renewed traditions that characterise the cousins and winemakers behind the brand. Made with meticulous care and a focus on quality, Donzell Vermouth combines selected wines with a harmonious blend of aromatic herbs, roots and botanicals harvested from the rich Catalan landscapes, providing a unique and authentic sensory experience. Dark amber in colour and with an inviting sparkle, Les Cousins Vermouth Donzell offers an aromatic complexity on the nose where notes of Mediterranean herbs, citrus hints and spicy nuances intertwine, resulting in an intoxicating and suggestive perfume. Traditional vermouth herbs, such as wormwood and artemisia, are complemented by hints of orange, vanilla and cardamom, among others, creating a symphony of aromas that is both classic and novel. On the palate, this vermouth reveals an exquisite balance between sweetness and bitterness, an essential characteristic of a good vermouth. The texture is smooth and seductive, with a palate that replicates the complexity found in its aroma, adding layers of depth that evolve with each sip. Herbal and spicy notes give way to a moderate sweetness, followed by a clean, lingering bitter finish, inviting reflection and prolonged enjoyment. Les Cousins Vermouth Donzell is perfect to be enjoyed neat, served chilled with a slice of orange and an olive, or as a stellar component in sophisticated cocktails. Its versatility and distinctive character make it an ideal accompaniment to aperitifs and tapas, enhancing flavours and providing an unforgettable prelude to any meal or gathering. This vermouth is not just a drink, but a celebration of craftsmanship, tradition and innovation, offering a window into the cultural and botanical richness of Catalonia. Les Cousins Vermut Donzell is an invitation to explore the nuances of a reinvented classic, an experience that delights and surprises aficionados and the curious alike.
About the vineyard[+]
In 1999 the DO Catalunya became the first Denomination to encompass the entire Autonomous Community. Its objective was to provide support commercially and in a regulatory capacity for the many Catalan wineries that were producing quality wines but were unable to sell them as such because they did not fall within a specific DO. As regards the choice of grape varieties allowed in wine production, the Regulating Council is decidedly lenient yet always ensuring DO supervision of quality standards. In addition, far-flung wineries and those too distant from a DO demarcation area, which could not benefit from any support network before, have since been able to make use of this commercial umbrella. The climate and soils are as dissimilar in nature as the wines are diverse. They range from Mediterranean climatic conditions with the northerly Tramontana wind affecting the Empordà region, to the continental climate found inland on the Lleida plains, and account for the exceptional character of wines from the Priorat area. Consequently, a rich tapestry of flavours, textures and aromas is wholly guaranteed.
