Tximista Txakolina Vermouth Rojo

Tximista Txakolina Vermouth Rojo is a pioneering vermouth crafted exclusively from 100% Hondarrabi Zuri grapes, indigenous to Spain's Basque Country. Produced by the fifth-generation Eizaguirre family in Zarautz, this vermouth uniquely utilizes Getariako Txakoli wine as its base, reflecting the region's rich viticultural heritage. The name "Tximista," meaning "lightning" in Basque, embodies the vibrant character of this exceptional vermouth.

Nose: Complex aromas of grapefruit, raspberry, and nectarine, complemented by subtle hints of toast, vanilla, and caramel. ​

Palate: A harmonious balance of bright acidity and minerality, with rich botanical depth derived from over 80 local aromatic herbs. ​

Finish: Lingering notes of vanilla and caramel, balanced by a pleasantly bitter and tannic base.

Tximista Txakolina Vermouth Rojo's intricate flavor profile makes it a versatile companion to various dishes. It pairs excellently with cured meats, aged cheeses, and traditional Basque pintxos. For a refreshing aperitif, serve it over ice with a twist of orange or incorporate it into classic cocktails like a Negroni or Manhattan to add a unique Basque twist.
