Caràcter Reserva is the aged version of our first organic vermouth. To the indigenous botanicals, characteristics from the Catalonia's Ponent region, we add an artisanal method of ageing in French oak barrels during a minimum period of nine months. Thanks to this process we give it a nutty aroma, shaping its peculiar bitterness and adding more sweetness to it. All this provides some wooden, rusting and exotic reminiscences to it.We introduce you a craft vermouth that needs to be served in a good glass, at a slow pace and well chilled, but not with ice.
It’s an unhurried vermouth, that calls you to not hurry either.
We are a cooperative that crafts artisanal vermouths and traditional liqueurs. We are based in Arbeca, a village located in the province of Lleida in Catalonia, where we have our own workshop. All our products are crafted by artisans using the best quality materials, including local raw fruits, organic and manually harvested by ourselves.
We were born in 2016 with the aim of promoting a Catalan traditional liqueur: Vi de Nous or walnut wine. Along the years, we have produced new artisanal drinks: the sloe liqueur or patxaran Nyons, the first-ever organic vermouth crafted in Catalonia, Caràcter, and the first-ever organic ratafia without added sugar, NVA.
We are a non-profit local development cooperative with the aim of promoting social transformation. So everything we do, we do it with a focus on our land and its people. And we do it with two clear themes: agroecology and social and solidarity economy, which for us are both related to each other.
