Kuartango Vermouth and Cider, White: The taste of Álava in every glass
Some products tell a story just by looking at them, and Kuartango White Vermouth with Natural Cider is one of them. Born from the encounter between two very Alavese traditions—vermouth and natural cider—this white vermouth is one of those zero-kilometer gems that we at Bergonda Gourmet love to bring to your table.
A vermouth with cider house roots
Unlike conventional vermouths, this one uses natural cider from Kuartango Cider House in Álava as its base. The result is a white vermouth with a distinct personality: lighter, fruitier, and with that characteristic acidic touch of natural cider, combined with the herbaceous and spicy notes typical of any good vermouth.
It comes in a 0.75 L bottle and has an alcohol content of 15°, ideal for enjoying in just the right amounts and savoring calmly.
An internationally awarded vermouth
And we're not the only ones saying it: this vermouth has the backing of experts. Kuartango Vermouth with Cider won the first prize in the Open Category at the VI Sagardo Forum 2025, held at the Basque Culinary Center in Donostia. This was no ordinary competition: more than 200 ciders from 17 countries were submitted, and of all of them, the creation from Kuartango Cider House took home the gold.
Behind this recognition is the work of Iñigo Unamuno and Benito Peciña, the creators of Kuartango, who have been committed to innovation for years without losing the essence of traditional Alavese cider. An award that confirms what we already knew: the quality of this product is on par with the great cider benchmarks of Euskadi and Asturias.
How to enjoy it?
Vermouth is, above all, a social product: it's for sharing, for extending after-dinner conversations, or for whetting the appetite before a meal. With Kuartango White, we suggest:
Served well chilled, with plenty of ice and an orange slice or a lemon twist.
With a splash of soda if you prefer a longer and more refreshing vermouth.
Accompanied by olives, anchovies, or a good Álava cheese, to stay local.
As an appetizer before a meal with local products, such as Ekiolio Oil or some local cured meats.
Why we champion it at Bergonda Gourmet
At Bergonda Gourmet, we believe in products that are locally sourced, made by small producers who pay attention to every detail. This vermouth is exactly that: a product from Álava, made with local natural cider, proving that you don't have to go far to find surprising flavors.
If you enjoy discovering local gourmet products with a story (and awards) behind them, Kuartango White Vermouth is a must-try.
