Bodegas Robles

Aromas of vanilla, quince jelly and honey, with spicy notes, and clove and cinnamon warmth.

Producer Information

The Robles family has been dedicated to wine making in Montilla (Southern Spain) since 1927. In the late 1990s, the third generation took over the winery, understanding the need to incorporate organic viticulture and work with indigenous yeasts into the tradition of the winery. Their approach is quite straightforward: Grow the most intense and flavourful organic grapes that you can, guide the natural process and draw all the fruit’s richness into the wine.

With the experience acquired over three generations, they have learned an important lesson “The more we care for our land, the better our wine”.

Wine Making

Starting with a base of organic Oloroso wine that has aged for eight years in oak barrels. Then a light touch of Pedro Ximénez wine is added. The intriguing “solera” system mixes very old wines with younger wines thus mothering the young wines. Bodegas Robles’ vineyards have the air of a wildly romantic garden, overrun by a layer of lavender, poppies, clover and wild plants, buzzing with bees and other insects. So, the Vermouth is then macerated with ten of these aromatic plants in an attempt to translate a real sense of the terroir into the vermouth.

Tasting Note

The base of VRMT Robles is organic Oloroso wine that has aged for eight years in oak barrels. A light touch of Pedro Ximénez wine displays a wide range of aromas of quince jelly and honey tones.

Food Matching

It’s so versatile with: olives, cheese, ham, sausages, smoked meats, mussels, clams. All kinds of fish, especially tuna, cod, salmon and anchovies. Sweet flavours with more intensity and ‘darkness’, great with nuts, orange or lemon, cheese or raspberry cake.
