Overall impression

Vermut Saüc Blanco is the white expression of the Saüc range from Celler La Muntanya (Muro de Alcoy), made with the same spirit as the red: starting from one of the estate's finest single-varietal wines — barrel-fermented Malvasía — rather than rescuing weak wines, according to the bodega's official narrative. A centenary elder tree grows in the celler courtyard; while Saüc Rojo incorporates its berries, the white is rounded with the white flowers of that tree, together with wormwood and more than 40 botanicals from the Sierra de Mariola plus 20 exotic vegetables, per Celler La Muntanya's official product sheet. Traditional 1890 recipe, organic artisan production D.O. Valencia.
