Overall impression

Wachisnais Temazo is the low-alcohol reference of the Wachisnais range (7% vol.), made by After The Misa Wachisnais S.L. in Pedrosa de Duero (Burgos), within D.O. Ribera del Duero, at artisan winery MN Vinos Hnos. Rodero Calderari. A project by Paco, Noe and Juan Pablo born from passion for vermouth and the social dimension of the «after mass» aperitif. Temazo shares the brand's production philosophy — infusion of 37 botanicals in five profiles (bitter, sweet, citrus, herbaceous, spicy) on a Tempranillo and Verdejo base — but with reduced alcohol and body compared with Tintorro (15% vol.) or Celestial (16% vol.). Listed as «other» in Vermutpedia for its light aperitif profile rather than classic high-proof vermouth. The most atypical reference in the Burgos range, designed for refreshing, carefree drinking.

Nose and palate

With no dedicated tasting sheet on the official website, Temazo is defined by its low alcohol (7% vol.) and semidry profile against the house's standard vermouths at 15–16%. A red of lesser intensity than Tintorro's dark amber is expected, with a light sip and predominance of the citrus profile of Wachisnais botany — consistent with the five-profile structure published on the elaboration page. Silky, elegant texture compared with more alcoholic vermouths; less weight on the palate, greater invitation to long drinking with ice or soda. Maceration of 37 botanicals remains present but in a subtler register due to lower alcohol. Fresh finish, with integrated botanical bitterness without the density of semidry red. For palates seeking a Ribera aperitif without the power of 15%, Temazo occupies its own niche within the Wachisnais universe.

How to serve it

Very cold, with ice and soda or alone as a low-alcohol aperitif — service consistent with a light, refreshing product. Ideal on long afternoons, moderate consumption or contexts where Tintorro's 15% is excessive. Also as a base for lengthened mixed drinks that keep the citrus character of Wachisnais botany without dominating the cocktail. Refrigerate once opened.

It does not replace the range red in Negroni or Manhattan: it is an aperitif for a different occasion, with the brand's social identity but in an easy-drinking register.

Production context

Made by After The Misa Wachisnais S.L. at MN Vinos (Pedrosa de Duero, D.O. Ribera del Duero). Same botanical infusion base — 37 ingredients, five profiles — and Tempranillo and Verdejo grapes as the rest of the range, with reduced profile and alcohol. 7% vol., 75 cl. No barrel ageing. Main range published on website: red Tintorro, white and Celestial; Temazo extends the offer towards low-alcohol aperitifs. For Vermutpedia, Temazo synthesises the light Ribera Wachisnais aperitif: house botany, 7% vol., semidry, verifiable at vermutwachisnais.com.
