When Philip from Albion Wine, one of our favourite suppliers, slipped in a bottle of this Vermouth with one of our deliveries, we were immediately taken with the beautiful label and intrigued to learn that it was made in Rioja. When we tried it and saw how at home it looked on our bar, we were smitten.

Now we're mixing it with cava to make Vermut Espumoso or dry sherry and orange bitters for Fino Lacuesta. A perfect first drink of the day and very good if you're feeling fragile...
