Padro I Familia - Padro & Co. Reserva Especial Vermouth

Padró & Co. Reserva Especial Vermouth

At the end of the 19th century, wines from Tarragona enjoyed great prestige internationally. At that time, Padró I Familia’s ancestors were making liqueur wines in the style of the “great wines” of the time: Port, Sherry or Sauternes, among others. In 1947, these fortified wines were the first to be regulated within the Tarragona Denominación de Orígen (DO) or Appellation and were given the name Tarragona Clásicos. Resrva Especial is created using a sweet Tarragona Clásico-style liqueur wine aged for 5 years in 7,000-litre oak vats. Padro adds a small amount of this wine to the solera wine in the final vermouth coupage together, with their special touch of vermouth herbs.

Brand Overview

The wine-making origins of the Padró family date back to the year 1886 and to the village of Bràfim (Tarragona), which was, at the time a busy agricultural hub with around 400 inhabitants.

The fifth generation, currently in charge of the winery, are following the same philosophy as their ancestors and producing quality bulk and bottled wine, liqueur wines and vermouths and have taken care to make sure their company keeps up with the times as regards modern wine-making processes and technology (tangential filtration, continuous tartaric stabilization and so on…) at their bottling plant as well as extending the Padró family vineyards and implementing a new grape reception and wine storage facility.
