Overall impression

Entroido Vermú Blanco is Adegas Valmiñor's Atlantic bet (O Rosal, Pontevedra) to carry the identity of Valmiñor Albariño into the Galician vermouth universe. According to adegasvalminor.com, it is made from the bodega's own Valmiñor Albariño — vinified in the usual way — blended with a botanical infusion of representative Galician herbs: fennel, coriander, eucalyptus, bay leaf, mint, cinnamon and others, macerated in a hydroalcoholic base for roughly two months before pressing and blending with sugar and alcohol correction to 15%. The result is a semidry white vermouth in straw yellow with golden reflections that evokes the tone of the base Albariño. Bronze World Vermouth Awards 2021 and 89 points in the Guía Peñín del Vermut 2020 attest to its quality. Sibling to Entroido Rojo, it shares an Atlantic philosophy but with white-oriented botanicals. For Vermutpedia, Entroido Blanco is the reference albariño vermouth in Galicia: own grape, artisan maceration and verifiable Atlantic mountain character on the official sheet.

How to serve it

Adegas Valmiñor recommends serving Entroido Blanco at 6–8 °C, with ice in a wide glass or aperitif cup. It works solo as an Atlantic terrace vermouth, paired with shellfish, escabeches, Galician preserves, nuts, pickles and aged cheeses. Also in a light spritz with soda or tonic, where Albariño and the botanicals are not diluted. With its semidry profile and citrus acidity, it is not a sweet session vermouth but a fresh, elegant aperitif. 75 cl bottle, available at adegasvalminor.com. For those exploring the Entroido universe, Blanco is the gateway before the salmon Rojo with cardamom and rosemary. Ideal in summer and with Atlantic cuisine.
