Brevatges Raimon / Raimut

Overall impression

Raimut Vermut Negre is the red-style reference of Raimut, the artisan brand of Brevatges Raimon (Raimon Perales), born in Andorra in spring 2023 as a personal vermouth project of intense character. According to the house technical sheet, it is made in the Costers del Segre D.O. on a high-quality white-wine base with more than fifteen botanicals —bitter orange, cinnamon and wormwood to the fore— and refinement at Bodegas Mazuela. The base is local Macabeo; intense mahogany colour and 75 cl swing-top bottle. The label links to the brand's VID VID music project. Not to be confused with Vermut Raimat El Polvorí (Raimat winery, Lleida), a distinct Codorníu group product. 15% vol.

Nose and palate

Pending evaluation.

How to serve it

Between 6 and 10 °C, with ice and orange peel, as recommended by the house on its technical sheet. Also neat, in Catalan aperitivo style, or in Negroni and mixed drinks where an intense botanical Lleida vermouth brings bitterness and Mediterranean spice.
