Manuel Ramos, Owner Of Vinos Talamingo, Announces The Launch Of A Wine-Forward Vermouth

Vinos Talamingo has been devoted to mastering the craft of wine-making since 1925. The winery used to produce high-quality products for personal use only but has expanded into the commercial market with a limited supply. Manuel Ramos, the owner of the vineyard, emphasizes the sheer passion, love, and commitment his family has for creating wine. And now, he has announced the launch of a vermouth based on the same care and values that have been in the family for almost a century. 

As of today, Vinos Talamingo offers a variety of five wines, most of them fermented from the finest French grapes. The winery also produces a pale and subtle rosé made from freshly harvested, locally-grown Bobal grapes that honor the beautiful region of La Mancha. The new Tres vermouth is the estate's way of respecting the beloved, nature-inspired province. 

Most brilliant ideas happen when all stars align and fate connects two people who, together, work towards creating magic. That's exactly the story behind the idea of the wine-forward vermouth crafted by Tres. Manuel met a bar manager from Florence, who loved the richness and flavor profiles of the Vinos Talamingo wines and visited the beautiful estate. "There we were, strolling through the vineyard in the middle of the Spanish countryside, admiring nature, and surrounding us were the almond and olive trees. He left with a few wine samples and came back a few months later with a perfect vermouth recipe. After trying it, I realized it tasted just like vermouth, but at the same time, it was like no other vermouth I've ever had. That's when I knew we created a unique, all-natural, local product and wanted to share it with others," shares Manuel. 

The ethos of Talamingo is simple – every bottle is unique, crafted in agreeance with nature, and without using any chemicals. And these are the same values that Manuel poured into Tres and its vermouth. The branding is inspired by Don Quixote, a figure of idealistic ideas and dreams who travels the corners and crevasses of La Mancha during his journey. The newest launch will consist of two varieties of vermouth – Rucio and Rocinante – with a limited amount of 1000 bottles per variety. The first one, named after the donkey from Don Quixote, is a fresh blend of white wine and rosé, enhanced with the strong aroma of almond shells and olive leaves. Rocinante, a rich and balanced fusion of white and red wine, is named in honor of the horse from Cervantes' book. The new brand, derived from Vinos Talamingo, is called Tres, meaning three in Spanish and symbolizing the three main figures from Don Quixote. 

With a history tracing back to 1925, Vinos Talamingo is not only a symbol of tradition and longevity but also quality. The vineyard has mastered the production of wines and is now venturing into the vermouth territory. Made from locally sourced products and with the love and affection that have been driving Manuel's family for 99 years, their new product is a true testament to the diversity and value of the picturesque Spanish countryside. "We really want to showcase that La Mancha is capable of creating 100% organic, locally sourced vermouth that meets the needs of people worldwide," expresses Manuel.
