Overall impression

Vermú Rojo Pekador is the red reference in the vermouth range of Bodegas Santos Sodupe, a family winery with estate vineyards in San Asensio (Rioja Alta). Per bodegasantossodupe.com, it is made from estate Garnacha tinta within DOCa Rioja; it pairs with Vermú blanco Pekador and shares the brand universe with wines such as Pekadora and the Pekador spirits line. The house emphasises Riojan tradition, night harvest and production from own grapes. Winery price from €12.80 (75 cl).

Nose and palate

Pending evaluation.

How to serve it

Very cold, neat or with ice and an orange slice, in classic Riojan bar aperitivo style. Also in an Americano or simple mixed drinks where a Garnacha vermouth brings fruit and spice without excessive weight.

Production context

Made in San Asensio by Bodegas Santos Sodupe. 12.5% vol., 75 cl, contains sulphites. The official site states 100% Garnacha tinta and estate vineyards; the tasting note is the reliable source for sensory profile. The online technical sheet partly duplicates data from other range products (e.g. «semisweet rosé»), so Vermutpedia prioritises the published tasting and variety badge. No barrel ageing declared.
