Bellmunt del Priorat

Overall impression

Fontalia Sweet White is the sweet white vermouth of Priorat B&D Lab (Bellmunt del Priorat), the same creative universe as Dos Déus. Made with Priorat wines of body and alcohol united with botanicals that bring sweetness and personality according to distributors. Vinari 2019 gold medal. Designed very cold with citrus to balance initial sweetness, it represents the white pole of a Priorat vermouth project that shares DNA with the house's red and mulled expressions. For Vermutpedia, Fontalia Sweet White is accessible Priorat white vermouth: Mediterranean indulgence, territorial wine base and a refreshing sweet aperitif profile distinct from the more spiced reds of the same lab.

Nose and palate

Sweet white profile with Priorat body; botanicals that reinforce indulgence and Mediterranean aromaticity. Less spiced than the house reds; oriented to refreshing sweet aperitif. The Priorat wine base brings structure and vinous presence that keeps the sweetness from becoming cloying; botanical layers add herbal freshness without the density of oak-aged expressions. A white vermouth for terrace service and light cocktails where sweetness and citrus work in tandem.

How to serve it

Serve very cold with a slice of lemon or orange to counterbalance sweetness — the recommended format for this style of sweet Priorat white. Works as a solo aperitif on ice or as a base in light spritz and summer mixed drinks where the sweet profile needs citrus lift. Temperature around 4–6 °C; wide glass or tumbler with ice. Pairs with olives, light cheeses and Mediterranean appetisers. For Vermutpedia, Fontalia Sweet White shines in cold citrus service rather than complex cocktail construction.

Production context
