History of Viñas del Vero
Viñas del Vero is the leading winery of the Somontano denomination of origin. It takes its name from a river, the Vero, that flows through the Somontano region and is famous for its ravines, gorges and canyons. Viñas del Vero is located at the foothills of the Pyrenees, the impressive mountain range which acts as the natural border between France and Spain. In fact, in Spanish, Somontano means ‘base of a mountain’. Its vineyards are located at a height between 450 meter and 750 meters above sea level.
The Viñas del Vero winery was set up in Somontano at the end of 1986 through the acquisition of 550 hectares of land in Barbastro and other nearby villages. In 1987 the land began to be replanted with grape varieties traditionally grown in the region (Tempranillo, Moristel, Garnacha and Macabeo), along with others of different origins (Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir). The company is one of Spain’s largest vineyard owners, whilst the technology used in the winery and the style of the wines it produces make it a benchmark for the rest.
