Vermouth Canasta

Bodegas Williams & Humbert presents Canasta Vermouth, originating in Jerez (Spain).

It is made from the Palomino and Pedro Ximénez grape varieties.

Canasta Vermouth is macerated for several weeks in large stainless steel containers, so that the ingredients integrate and release their aromas and flavors.

Once maceration is complete, a small amount of distilled alcohol is added to stop the fermentation process and preserve the mixture.

Then it is filtered and a little sugar is added, which gives it a sweet touch and balances its bitter taste.

Finally, the Canasta Vermouth is bottled and left to rest for a while before distribution.

The result is a dark amber-colored drink with a bittersweet taste and herbal, spicy, and citrus notes.

William & Humbert Winery is a Jerez winery founded in 1877 by Sir Alexander Williams and Arthur Humbert.

They began exporting their wines to England, becoming one of the leading wineries exporting Jerez wines.

The winery has remained in the hands of the Williams family since its founding, and is currently led by the fifth generation.

The winery uses traditional production methods that are common in the making of Jerez wines, such as the solera and criadera system.

Furthermore, they have innovated in the production of sweet wines, such as Pedro Ximénez, by freezing the grapes before pressing them.

Another distinguishing feature of this winery is its extensive system of underground caves, which extends for more than 15 kilometers and provides the optimal conditions for aging its wines.

The winery is also known for its spirits, such as Gran Duque de Alba brandy and Rives gin, as well as for its sustainability efforts, which include the implementation of solar energy and responsible waste management.
