In the late 1990s, the Estévez family discovered casks containing these aperitifs and continued to produce small batches for their private collection. The team have since recovered old recipes and revived the original Art Deco labels. They are the only house to produce a vermouth based on Very Old Oloroso Wines from the bodega’s founding soleras, which provide excellent richness and complexity. The Vermouth is a blend of Very Old Oloroso from the Don Gonzalo solera (aged for an average of 20 years) and Moscatel, which contributes a refreshing citrus lift. The Oloroso sherry and Moscatel underwent a hydroalcoholic maceration with bitter extracts of mugwort, coriander, elderberry and gentian, as well as chamomile, cloves, cinnamon, dried oranges and juniper berries.

A rainy winter and early spring with higher-than-average temperatures left good water reserves but required careful management of canopy cover and fungal diseases. Summer saw mild temperatures, with a couple of very hot days in late July and early August (reaching up to 44°C). This was followed by stable conditions: sunny days (below 30°C) and cool nights (below 15°C) through August and September, which encouraged slow and excellent ripening. The harvest ran from 28th August to 19th October with rain and more unsettled conditions and rain arriving from late September.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Givino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61978177896778,"sku":"5601012115505","price":13.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/4747\/8602\/files\/plantano.png?v=1780394755"}],"url":"https:\/\/givino.co.uk\/collections\/muscadet.oembed","provider":"Givino","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
