Valentia Island Vermouth

Distilled on Valentia Island, Co. Kerry.

This Vermouth stands as a testament to local craftsmanship. Carefully selected and foraged island plants and herbs, including vibrant gorse, are among the 20 botanicals that infuse every bottle. These botanicals are expertly steeped, revealing their harmonious blend of bitter and sweet notes. They are then married with a rich golden caramel and a Verdejo wine sourced from the Rueda region, in the northwest of Madrid.

With an Alcohol Vol of 19%, "This Vermouth" offers a versatile libation. It can be savoured neat as a delightful aperitif, seamlessly incorporated into iconic cocktails like the Negroni and Boulevardier, or enjoyed with tonic or soda, accompanied by a slice of orange. Every sip embodies the essence of Valentia.

Susana Esteban 'Procura' Tinto

Alentejo

, 2017 Portugal

Susana Esteban 'Procura' Tinto, Serra de São Mamde, Vinho Regional Alentejano 2017

Traditional varieties from São Mamede

One of the hallmarks of Susana's wines are that the grapes are old vine, indigenous and in most cases field blends. Field blends are usually found in once forgotten vineyards where native verities have naturally flourished but their true identity has been lost in time. Where the wine maker has the courage to work with what mother nature has provided them the identity of each vine isn't always the first priority. The Procura (which translates as search or quest) is a perfect example of what can be achieved with what nature has gifted you.

Serra de São Mamede is in the mountains of Portalalegre in the coolest subregion of Alentejo/Alentejano. It's surrounded by the forests of a national park and 700 meters above the plains of Alentejo, as a result Susana's style of wines are 'not' typical of Alentejo, they're fresher by design, more complex and with an elegance that surprises.

Pairs well with steak, veal and charcuterie.

"Two vineyards, one is the same as for the Procura white – the field blend includes both red and white grapes and winegrowers used to blend them all together. The other is 40-year-old Alicante Bouschet, also from the Serra de São Mamede but not part of a field blend. Spends two winters in barrel, none new.
Very dark in colour and dark-fruited – blackcurrant not cassis – and smells both elegant and stony. A suggestion of pencils but not the combination of leafy and lead pencil you often get with Cabernet Franc. This is riper. The tannins are so incredibly refined, so silky, dry and super-fresh. Fine-boned and beautiful. Long. The oak is extremely subtle. Opens up to a the scent of wild scrubland.
