Overall impression

Vermut Celda Herbáceo is the herbaceous reference in Celda by Mazmorra, the author vermouth brand from Restaurante Mazmorra in Zaragoza — winners of the III Ruta del Vermut Preparado and finalists in every edition, according to El Periódico de Aragón. 2024 Collection: artisan vermouth made entirely in Aragón on a Macabeo and Chardonnay base from Bodegas Valdovinos (Antillón, Huesca), macerated with spearmint, mint, orange and apple in stainless-steel tanks for several months before filtering and bottling. A refreshing, citrus profile the house describes as the «sharp awakening» of an herbaceous flavour for introspective aperitif. Each bottle numbered, torn label hand-applied and glass stopper. 17.2% vol., 75 cl. Sibling to Celda Especiado and Celda Frutal in Mazmorra's vermouth trio. For Vermutpedia, Herbáceo documents Aragonese gastronomic vermouth: local white wine, botanical-fruit maceration and limited production verifiable at celdabymazmorra.com.
