Vermú blanco Pekador

Bodegas Santos Sodupe

San Asensio , España

Overall impression

Vermú blanco Pekador is the pale expression of Bodegas Santos Sodupe's vermouth range in San Asensio (Rioja Alta). The family winery —with estate vineyards and winemaking culture passed down through generations— sells this vermouth alongside Vermú Rojo Pekador from its online shop. The official tasting note points to a fruity, semisweet profile with marked wormwood, 75 cl and 12.5% vol. Winery price from €12.80.

Nose and palate

Pending evaluation.

How to serve it

Very cold in an aperitif glass with ice and citrus, balancing tropical fruit and wormwood bitterness. Also with soda or light tonic for a Riojan terrace white vermouth.

Production context

Made in San Asensio by Bodegas Santos Sodupe. 12.5% vol., 75 cl, contains sulphites. The official website's technical sheet wrongly duplicates data from another house product (Pekadora rosé and Garnacha tinta); Vermutpedia relies on the published tasting note and the «100% garnacha» badge on a pale vermouth, consistent with estate Garnacha blanca —a variety the winery grows per its grape section—. No barrel ageing declared.
