Description
Details: Les Cousins Vermouth
Donzell is the name given to wormwood (artemisia absinthium) in Catalan and is the soul of vermouth. It is an essential ingredient in these types of drinks. Using this gives the drink a greater or lesser amount of bitterness depending on the amount used during production. Wormwood also has medicinal properties that stimulate appetite and aid digestion.
Les Cousins Donzell is made from a rosé wine of organically cultivated Cariñena and Garnacha that macerates in a wooden foudre for about six months with a selection of local herbs like rosemary, thyme, fennel, and lavender along with citrus peel and cardamom. This is an aromatic wine, with a refined and elegant flavor that contains absinthe, which adds that special bitterness and makes it reminiscent of vermouth, the leading aperitif.
In its own way, Les Cousins Donzell functions as an “unusual vermouth”, because it has no alcohol or sweet concentrates added, yet it is a nod to the well-known social trend of having an aperitif. It is important to remember that the word we use for this type of drink, vermouth, derives from the German word Wermut, which means wormwood (or donzell in Catalan). An exquisite return to the roots with a touch of modernity and elegance.
