(Jerez, Spain) - [WE 97, Top 100 Of '24]

About this Wine:

Equipo Navazos and Nicolas Palazzi, in their continuous quest to offer extraordinary products to wine and spirits connoisseurs, present Navazos Palazzi Vermut Rojo. This base of this vermouth is Oloroso Sherry which aged for over five years in oak barrels. The botanicals include wormwood, savory, coriander, licorice, elderflower, juniper, bitter orange peel, and grapefruit peel – all of which can be found growing wild in the fields and mountains of Andalusia. The base wine is blended with concentrated grape must for sweetness before being fortified to 17.5% with neutral grape spirit. Individually macerated botanical extracts are blended in specific proportions to achieve the desired flavor profile. Bottled in 2022, 6000 bottles of this vermouth were produced.

97 Points, Top 100 Spirits Of 2024 - Wine Enthusiast

"Made with an oloroso sherry base, this red vermouth has a deep ruddy hue and mild dried cherry on nose and palate. Initial sweetness swiftly transforms to a lightly nutty, drying exhale. A slightly savory note teases, suggesting dried thyme and a hint of black olive. This would be especially good in a Manhattan, or other stirred-style whiskey cocktails." - February 20, 2024

"This excellent vermouth is a collaboration between Equipo Navazos, a boutique sherry négociant that has been instrumental in the revival of sherry over the last 20 years, and Nicolas Palazzi of PM Spirits, which imports small batches of extraordinary spirits. The stamp of oloroso is clear on this lightly sweet blend. It is infused with spices and herbs to create a mellow, complex vermouth that refreshes as well as intrigues." - Eric Asimov, July 2023 | The New York Times
