Canhotos Sublime Vermouth is a testament to the revival of traditional aromatized wines in Portugal, crafted with a focus on indigenous botanicals and a nuanced balance of sweetness and bitterness. The production begins with a base of high-quality white wine, chosen for its neutral character and ability to integrate the diverse array of botanicals. This base is then infused with a carefully selected blend of herbs, spices, and citrus peels from various regions, including those local to the producer. These botanicals, which may include ingredients like artemisia, gentian, elderflower, orange peel, and cinnamon, are macerated in a hydroalcoholic solution, allowing their essential oils to infuse the base wine. A small amount of sugar is added to achieve the desired sweetness, which is carefully calibrated to complement the inherent bitterness of the botanicals. The resulting vermouth is then rested, allowing the flavors to integrate and harmonize, creating a smooth and complex beverage.

Tasting notes for Canhotos Sublime Vermouth reveal a sophisticated and aromatic aperitif. The initial aroma is characterized by a complex bouquet of herbal and citrus notes, hints of artemisia, gentian, and orange peel. Subtle floral nuances, such as elderflower, add a delicate layer of complexity. The vermouth is well-balanced on the palate, with a harmonious interplay of sweetness and bitterness. The herbal and spice notes contribute layers of flavor, creating a nuanced and engaging taste experience. The texture is smooth and velvety, with a medium body that coats the palate. The finish is long and lingering, with a pleasant bitterness and a subtle herbal aftertaste. This vermouth is best enjoyed chilled, either neat or as a key ingredient in classic and contemporary cocktails, where its complex flavor profile can be fully appreciated. Its versatility also extends to food pairings, complementing a variety of appetizers, cheeses, and charcuterie.
