Yzaguirre Rosé Vermouth
Yzaguirre Rosé Vermouth is the pink, contemporary member of the Tarragona range — 15% ABV, 1L, a Classic-tier rosado in a raspberry-pink glass, fresh with citrus and spice and deliberately lighter and easier-drinking than the traditional reds and whites beside it. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Pink One: Yzaguirre's Aperitif for Any Hour
Every old vermouth house has its mahogany red and its straw white; the Rosé is where Yzaguirre loosens the tie. The producer positions it as a lighter, sweeter, more cosmopolitan aperitif — a vermouth made for cocktails at any time of day rather than the formal vermouth hour, poured very cold when the afternoon turns. It still starts where everything at El Morell starts: white wine and the secret botanical formula the house has kept since 1884. Line it up against the reds and whites in our liqueurs collection, or browse the full house on the Yzaguirre vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Colour: Raspberry pink with violet glints. Nose: Intense and fresh — citrus and spices, delicate and soft. Palate: Pleasantly sweet and easy-drinking, with good length. (Current producer/distributor description; older producer copy describes a cherry-red, caramel-and-mint profile — see the applier flag.)
How to Enjoy
Serve it very cold in a wide glass over ice with a slice of grapefruit or lemon, per the distributor's serve — or lengthen it into a spritz when the brief is pink, cold and uncomplicated.
