In a 200-year-old company with sixteen bodegas, sometimes surprising things get found. In this case, Barbadillo discovered old tonic wines of indeterminate age and recipe, and called on winemaker Montserrat Molina to develop a new vermouth recipe to approximate the flavor profiles of what they had found. The result, Atamán, is a potently delicious sipping vermouth built on Manzanilla sherry with quassia, bitter orange, wormwood, elderberry and rosemary dominating the botanical roster.
Lively lemony freshness and steely tension. Dry and rounded in the mouth. A good counterpoint between flavour and texture. Long, salty finish.
Fresh, dusty citrus. Mouth-wateringly zesty and dry. The sample is a little bit too cold to see it fully but has great tension and zip. Extreme purity and precise flavour allied with a finely dry texture. Tight, pure and long. Terrific wine.
Finally back in stock! A MacBev direct import, this takes the sometimes ordinary Picpoul de Pinet to another level. Fresh, racy and easy drinking. the perfect year-round sipper
