Mata Vermouth is made in the northern Spanish province of Bierzo. This vermouth falls under the category of what people now call "sipping vermouths". It is sweet, yet bitter, and perfect served over ice on its own with a wedge of orange.
While the exact blend is a secret, some of the dominant botanicals are star anise, saffron, mint and thyme.
