La Gitana Vermut In The Week

Wine columnist Matthew Jukes presents the top festive tipples and recommends The Secret Bottle Shop for the best sherry.

'This insanely delicious vermut is made using a 19th-century Hidalgo family recipe. It employs oloroso faraon and pedro ximénez triana, both of which have been aged for 12 years in 100-year-old casks. This is then blended and infused with aromatic herbs for a further six months.

Served over ice with a splash of soda water, this is a mind-boggling aperitif – sensational and a total bargain too'.
