Description
González Byass Vermouth La Copa NV 750ml is a sweet red vermouth from Jerez, Spain, made by González Byass from a blend of aged Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherries. The recipe draws on vermouths recorded in the bodega’s archives in the late 1800s, and the label recreates its historic designs.

The sherry base comes from soleras more than eight years old, which gives the vermouth more depth than most. It is infused with botanicals led by wormwood, clove, orange peel, cinnamon and nutmeg, and the exact proportions are kept a closely guarded secret.
Serve it very cold over ice with a slice of orange and a green olive, the classic Spanish way. It also makes a rich Negroni, Manhattan or Americano, and suits salty tapas, aged Manchego or chorizo.

- Wormwood, clove, orange peel and cinnamon, 15.5% ABV
The colour is a deep tawny red. Expect jammy red berries, orange peel and warm spice on the nose, then a rich, bittersweet palate with cooked raspberry, cinnamon and black pepper, finishing long with wormwood bitterness and sherry nuttiness.
A rewarding vermouth for anyone who enjoys sherry, and a strong all-rounder for home cocktail making.
