Entroido Vermú Rojo
Overall impression
Entroido Vermú Rojo is the salmon sibling of Adegas Valmiñor's Entroido Blanco (O Rosal, Pontevedra): a semidry vermouth made from Valmiñor Albariño with Galician botanicals and a salmon colour with pink reflections obtained by incorporating anthocyanins from red grape skins, according to adegasvalminor.com. Botanical maceration — cardamom, rosemary, coriander, vanilla and other Galician herbs — lasts roughly two months in a hydroalcoholic base before pressing, blending with the wine and alcohol correction to 15%. Bronze World Vermouth Awards 2021 and 89 points in the Guía Peñín del Vermut 2020 attest to the quality of the Entroido range. For Vermutpedia, Entroido Rojo is the reference salmon-rosé albariño vermouth in Galicia: same wine base as the white, differentiated Atlantic botanicals and a unique colour without conventional industrial red vermouth dyes.

How to serve it
Adegas Valmiñor recommends serving Entroido Rojo at 6–8 °C, with ice in a wide glass or aperitif cup. It works solo as an Atlantic terrace vermouth, paired with shellfish, octopus, Galician empanada, preserves and Atlantic appetisers. Also in spritz or light mixed drinks, where the salmon colour and botanicals are not diluted. With its semidry profile and albariño acidity, it is not a sweet vermouth but a fresh, elegant aperitif with rosé personality. 75 cl bottle, available at adegasvalminor.com. For those exploring the Entroido universe, Rojo is the salmon variant after the straw Blanco. Ideal in summer and with Galician Atlantic cuisine.
Production context
Entroido Vermú Rojo is made in O Rosal (Pontevedra) by Adegas Valmiñor, a leading bodega of the Rías Baixas Denomination of Origin. Process verifiable at adegasvalminor.com: selection of Galician herbs (cardamom, rosemary, coriander, vanilla), ~2 months hydroalcoholic maceration, pressing, blending with Valmiñor Albariño, sugar and anthocyanins from red grape skins for salmon colour, correction to 15% vol., filtering and bottling. No declared barrel ageing. Fifteen per cent alcohol, 75 cl bottle. Awards: Bronze World Vermouth Awards 2021, 89 pts Guía Peñín del Vermut 2020. Sibling to Entroido Blanco, which shares the albariño base but with white-oriented botanicals (fennel, eucalyptus, cinnamon). For Vermutpedia, Entroido Rojo represents artisan Galician salmon-rosé vermouth: verifiable Valmiñor Albariño, colour from natural anthocyanins and two-month maceration as Adegas Valmiñor's stamp.
