Preparation:

The Canary Islands is a fusion of cultures, climates, lives, meeting point and fruit of that mixture. "El 18" represents the combination of two worlds: Bodegas El Lomo with more than 30 years of experience in the production of Canarian wines and the art of Cuban bartender Abel López.

Creativity, tradition and a lot of passion light up a vermouth that brings together the essence of our islands: warmth, joy and flavour.

The starting point is a base wine made with grapes of the Listán Negro variety, one of the most representative varieties of our Islands. With this very present "soul" we create the red vermouth "El 18" incorporating 18 select botanicals, mostly native to the Canary Islands, which by infusion or maceration transform the selection of our wines into a delicate vermouth whose bouquet and complexity is formed by the maceration in a stainless steel tank. The sum of all this makes the vermouth "El 18" a premium appetiser, structured, complex, with mahogany tones and with that evocative touch that awakens our fortunate islands.

TASTING NOTE:

Clean and bright mahogany colour and coppery sparkles. Intense, fragrant and elegant, it gives off citrus, spicy and herbaceous notes highlighting the orange peel, Canarian incense (Artemisia), vanilla, cinnamon and cloves.

In the mouth it has weight and consistency. Structured with a spicy bottom and round step. At the entrance we are welcomed by a memory of the orange peel giving way to the herbaceous notes of Canarian incense and spices such as cinnamon and cloves. Complex, very "gastronomic" with medium body and a perfect sweet / bitter balance that remains in the aftertaste which makes "El 18 Rojo" ideal for your enjoyment as an appetiser.
