Acha’s classically Basque vermouths are their signature offering, syncing beautifully with the broader vermouth tradition enjoyed across Spain. Their Dry Vino Vermouth is a revival of Manuel Acha’s traditional recipe, with local botanicals including Roman wormwood, marjoram, rosemary, and wild herbs. These botanicals are macerated in aguardiente, then blended into a hondarrabi zuri Txakoli wine base, the quality of which is exemplified by the Vino Vermouth name. These base wines are sourced from trusted partners in the Basque Country, which farm 8ha of vineyards that are currently in organic conversion.
Flavor Profile & Usage
Bright, herbaceous notes reminiscent of alpine herbal liqueurs; fragrant with marjoram, thyme, wormwood, and rosemary; full-bodied, with a natural, vinous quality. This dry vermouth is quite literally dry, without being austere, giving it flexibility beyond martinis. Try it in other savory applications, with amaro, absinthe, tomato, or ginger.
