Overall impression

Vermut Blanco Delgado is the clear version of Bodegas Delgado vermouth in Puente Genil: 100% Pedro Ximénez on a base of white wines macerated with aromatic herbs and spices — wormwood and artemisia among others — under winemaker Miguel Luque Hidalgo. Limited production; the shop defines it as the aperitivo wine par excellence, fresher and more herbaceous than the red aged one year in American oak from the same winery. For Vermutpedia, it represents Montilla-Moriles white vermouth with PX honesty and herb-forward profile, sibling to the more oxidative barrel-aged red.

Nose and palate

Pale yellow. Intense aroma of aromatic herbs and spices. Savoury and balanced on the palate, with lightly bitter final memory; the official sheet describes it as aperitivo wine par excellence. Compared with Delgado red, the white trades barrel density for herbal freshness and PX grape aromaticity. Wormwood and artemisia bring integrated bitterness without aggression; semidry balance keeps the sip accessible. The finish is clean, herbal, with moderate persistence. For anyone seeking Andalusian white vermouth on PX base without flor or oxidative weight, this herb-spice profile offers a coherent tasting aligned with the official shop sheet.

How to serve it

Aperitivo wine par excellence in wide glass with olive. The winery recommends trying it with pickled mussel on fried potato slice; salted pairing contrasting with herbaceous character and final bitterness. Serve between 8 and 10 °C; olive reinforces classic Montilla aperitivo format. Works with boquerones, cheese, seafood preserves and Andalusian tapeo. Also in simple spritz with soda and lemon. At room temperature herbs can flatten; refrigerate before serving. Limited production; 75 cl bottle in six-unit cardboard box. For Vermutpedia, Blanco Delgado is drunk cool with olive or salted tapas, as Puente Genil PX white vermouth built for classic aperitivo.
