Yzaguirre was founded in 1884 in the Catalan region of Reus, making it the oldest Spanish vermouth brand still in production today. The house was also the first Spanish winery to release a Vermouth Reserva, and its Rojo Reserva was named the best vermouth in Spain by the Spanish Association of Wine and Spirits Journalists and Writers to mark the brand's 140th anniversary. Yzaguirre still operates from its Sort del Castell winery in El Morell, between Reus and Tarragona, guided by the same closely guarded formula the family has kept for over a century.

The vermouth begins with a white wine base made from hand-picked, indigenous Macabeo grapes, left to ferment naturally before blending with a secret aromatic extract drawn from nearly eighty herbs and spices. This botanical mixture macerates for several months to build depth and complexity before the wine rests for a full twelve months in large oak barrels previously used to age rum, a step that lends the finished product its color and a subtle woody character.

In the glass, Rojo Reserva shows a deep mahogany red. The nose carries herbal and balsamic notes layered with orange and cinnamon, while the palate turns velvety and rich, showing wood, ripe fruit, and warm spice with well-integrated acidity and a toasted, lingering finish.

"When the earliest vermouth recipes migrated to Catalonia from Italy in the mid 1800s, they collided with a unique terroir, agriculture, and way of life. Yzaguirre Vermouth emerged from this union in 1884 as the most distinguished of its kind. Its artisanal roots and long-kept secret recipe redefine the meaning of exceptional aperitif. Yzaguirre vermouth starts with a white-wine base born from the natural fermentation of hand-picked, indigenous Macabeo grapes (also known as Viura) from surrounding vineyards. This base is then mixed with a secret aromatic extract, a product of hundreds of herbs and spices macerating for nearly half a year. The new vermouth is then aged for 12 months in large oak barrels, previously used for aging rum. The Reserva Rojo includes over 100 botanicals, sourced from many of the same areas for the last 130 years, including artemisia absinthium (wormwood), dittany of crete, cardamom, cinnamon, clove, gentian, pennyroyal, marjoram nutmeg and quinine.

Since it was founded in 1884, Yzaguirre has been making its products in accordance with the traditional methods and exclusive formulas that are the secret to their flavours and aromas, while at the same time innovating and updating the processes that underline the high quality of all our products.

Our range of Yzaguirre Vermouths is still manufactured following the traditional methods of the venerable winemakers that sprang up in the foothills of the Italian Alps. Our exclusive formula blends almost 80 herbs and spices which give it that very special touch."
