Vermouth Mon Dieu Original

Vermouth from La Rioja

Its intense aromas, its luscious entry on the palate with marked acidity, and its fresh and deep flavor, with a bitter finish and a smooth aftertaste with notes of vanilla, have made it one of the most silky and elegant vermouths on the market.

Vermouth Mon Dieu! Original is the formula for success of the Usarralde brothers, which is reflected in the various recognitions it has received and its positioning as the best vermouth in Spain.

The Peñín Guide to Spanish Wines is the most comprehensive manual of Spanish wine in the world. It has editions in Spanish, English, German, and Chinese, and is the most used tool by enthusiasts and professionals for making purchasing decisions regarding Spanish wine.

Vermouth Production

The production of different types of vermouth varies according to their origin. Spanish vermouths are spicy and have an elegant sweetness. While French vermouths tend to be more bitter and with fewer spices, Italian vermouths are sweeter and have a shorter flavor profile.

In the past, their production came from leftover grapes and musts from winemaking, but after their popularity, specific wines began to be used for their production. Nowadays, their composition includes the best wines from across the country, some specifically made to be turned into vermouth.

How to make homemade vermouth

Although it is very difficult to make a homemade vermouth with the same flavor as this one (the reason is that most of these vermouths age in oak barrels or other woods), we can make homemade vermouth to enjoy with family or friends with a good appetizer.

How can we make our own vermouth?

We will start by choosing a good wine to which we will add wormwood and a mix of roots, barks, flowers, and fruits of our choice.

Let’s look at some of the most commonly used herbs and what they contribute to the brew:

• Cardamom adds a flavor with a sweet and spicy touch, and also provides a citrus aroma.
• Nutmeg gives a rough aroma and flavor, slightly spicy.
• Gentian root gives the vermouth a bitter flavor; only a small amount should be used as its flavor is very intense.
• A good candidate for a floral touch is the iris. Its flavor is sweet with an earthy and bitter background.
• Cinnamon adds a woody aroma and a sweet flavor.

Everything into a container and in a dark place

All these spices along with lemon peels are placed in a container with white wine, put into a cloth bag for easier removal.

This container should be kept in a dark and dry place for a month. Afterwards, the herbs are removed and sweetened with caramelized sugar to taste.

And now, enjoy!
