Overall impression

Fabio Coullet Vermouth condenses Bodega Fabio Coullet's bet — heroic viticulture in the Málaga Axarquía — on an author vermouth in Almáchar. The bodega starts from old Andalusian wines, combines Indonesian spices with other bitter botanicals and matures it in ancient American oak butts, seeking a unique profile in flavour and texture. It is the vermouth reference of the project at Paseo de la Axarquía, 19; a sweet red conceived for aperitif with southern character. For Vermutpedia, it is among the most distinctive Andalusian vermouths: old wine base, exotic spice layer and American oak ageing in a small-production artisan format.

Nose and palate

Caramel red colour, very aromatic according to the bodega. The nose unfolds fennel, rosemary, black liquorice, vanilla, cinnamon and orange peel in great sweet-bitter harmony, with fresh and fruity hints. On the palate it is silky, fresh and dense; spiced and bitter notes close well integrated, with high gustatory persistence. The sweet profile is present but balanced by herbal bitterness and oak texture — a southern vermouth that feels both Mediterranean and exotic.

How to serve it

Very cold in a glass or wide tumbler as an aperitif. Pairs with preserves, aged cheeses and Andalusian cuisine, where sweet-bitter contrast enhances salty flavours. Also works in cocktails that benefit from spice and density — rum or whisky combinations as the house suggests. Serve between 6 and 10 °C; the 75 cl format suits contemplative tasting rather than high-volume bar service.

Production context

Made in Almáchar (DO Sierras de Málaga). 15% vol., 75 cl format. The only vermouth reference in the Fabio Coullet catalogue; the official shop details tasting notes and pairings on the product sheet at bodegafabiocoullet.com. For Vermutpedia, Fabio Coullet Vermouth synthesises Axarquía author vermouth: old Andalusian wines, Indonesian spices, bitter botanicals and ageing in ancient American oak butts.
