How we calculate the Vermutpedia Score →

Overall impression

La Garita is the vermouth of Bodegas Vinor (León) made from a family recipe originating in 1881. Starting from white wine, the winery incorporates twelve botanicals—clove, vanilla, muscat, cinnamon, raspberry, orange, wormwood, gentian, chamomile, mint, juniper and tea—seeking aromatic precision and a complex, round profile.

Nose and palate

Fruity and balanced according to the house: initially sweet, with bitter but balanced aftertaste. The herbal and spiced composition points to classic aperitif vermouth, built to open the appetite without losing roundness.

How to serve it

"El Clásico": plenty of ice, a splash of soda and orange twist. "La Bomba": with a spark of Mombasa Club Gin. Ideal for tapas, afternoon drinks or informal dinner.

Production context

Fifteen percent alcohol, 75 cl. Sole vermouth reference from Vinor in León; the winery presents it as the benchmark aperitif for midday or afternoon gatherings.
