Overall impression

Vermut Myrrha Rojo is the evolution of the first vermouth that Padró i Família has been producing since 1886, maintaining the essence of the traditional vermouth that has accompanied generations, according to vermouthpadro.com. An authentic vermouth, produced entirely in-house with estate wines, natural botanicals and an artisan process that respects the house's roots in Bràfim (Tarragona). Mediterranean profile: traditional red, balsamic and light on the palate, combining soft sweetness and delicate bitterness; a blend of oriental spices, citrus, dried fruits and high-mountain botanicals. Molten caramel colour with amber highlights. 15% vol., 1 L. For those who enjoy vermouth in the time-honoured tradition with authenticity and Mediterranean character. For Vermutpedia, it represents the classic Catalan litre vermouth: balance, accessible price and historical continuity since the late nineteenth century, verifiable on the official Padró website.

Nose and palate

On the nose, vanilla, clove and balsamic herbs with a spiced base and a hint of ripe citrus. On the palate a warm and enveloping entry, freshness at the centre, a soft bitter finish integrated with a velvety sweet sensation. Round texture, agreeable passage, lightness in the mouth despite the balsamic profile. Compared with Myrrha Rojo Reserva — 12 months in Jerez casks, mistela, toasted dried fruits — the standard Rojo is more direct and accessible; against industrial supermarket vermouths, it offers full in-house production and natural botanicals. A red for palates seeking traditional Tarragona vermouth with a recognisable personality, consistent with the official sheet at vermouthpadro.com.

How to serve it

Works very well as a simple aperitif with ice and orange peel, or as a base for light mixed drinks — the natural format of the Myrrha Rojo litre. Serve cold in a wide glass; also in an Americano or spritz where the gentle sweetness and delicate bitterness balance soda or tonic. The litre format favours home consumption, terraces and economical restocking. Pairs with olives, conservas, charcuterie and Mediterranean tapas. No complex mixology required: it is the time-honoured vermouth for social enjoyment. Temperature between 8 and 10 °C. For Vermutpedia, Myrrha Rojo is the classic Catalan aperitif: cold, ice, orange peel, 1 L format according to the official Padró website.

For Vermutpedia, Myrrha Rojo distils the traditional Tarragona vermouth: 15% vol., litre format, balsamic-Mediterranean profile and heritage from 1886 verifiable at vermouthpadro.com/es/vermut-myrrha-padro/.
