Yzaguirre traces back to 1884, when Enrique de Yzaguirre, a Basque winemaker, settled in Reus, Catalonia and began making vermouth from a secret blend of nearly 80 herbs and spices — a recipe that passed to the Simó family in 1930 and the Salla family in 1970, both of whom kept it essentially unchanged. The winery's actual legal name, Celler Sort del Castell, has always taken a back seat to the Yzaguirre name itself, now exported to more than 20 countries. The range splits cleanly into two tiers: the Clásico line (White and Red), fresh and unaged for everyday vermut hour, and the Reserva line, which rests a full year in oak — including fino sherry casks for the Dry expression — for more complexity and depth. A lighter, sweeter Rosé rounds things out. Wine Enthusiast has repeatedly praised the lineup in blind tastings, and the Reserva reds and whites have picked up Gold and Grand Gold awards at Catalonia's own vermouth competitions. Every bottle is still built for the same purpose: chilled, with olives or orange, at the start of a meal.
