Secastilla 2019 is a wine from Viñas del Vero, a winery that deserves a special chapter in the history of Spanish wine. It is one of the essential wineries to understand today's Somontano, a pioneer of the Denomination of Origin and responsible for putting the region of Huesca on the world wine map.
Established since the mid-1980s in the heart of Somontano, in the municipality of Barbastro, the leading winery in the area in terms of volume and quality is currently part of the González-Byass group. A winery named after the Vero River, which flows through ravines and gorges in this region of Huesca.
We present to you the latest vintage to hit the market of the most limited-production red wine from Viñas del Vero, Secastilla 2019. A red wine enhanced by cutting-edge winemaking and the expressiveness of Garnacha in such a northern area, yet benefited by a fresh Mediterranean climate.
Tasting notes
Beautiful black apricot-toned color with good depth to the eye.
On the nose, it is complex and with good intensity, displaying mineral aromas, black fruits, and floral notes along with hints of juanola, coffee, roasted tones, and noble woods.
Well-structured on the palate, it is broad, flavorful, and with excellent balance. A wine with firmness and character, as well as good acidity. Its palate is dominated by fruity aromas, offering a long and complex finish.
The winery
Established in Barbastro in 1986, Viñas del Vero is the leading winery in Somontano in terms of production volume and one of those that has most promoted the name of this Denomination of Origin around the world. Currently, the winery belongs to the international group González-Byass. Viñas del Vero manages one of the largest vineyards in the country, with 500 hectares owned and an additional 515 hectares under control, producing around six million bottles a year, which are distributed to about fifty countries.
The first wines from Viñas del Vero were produced in an experimental winery in Salas Bajas and were launched on the market in the spring of 1990. Earlier, in 1987, the company had acquired the San Marcos estate for the construction of a new winery, which was inaugurated in July 1993. Today, Viñas del Vero is considered one of the most innovative brands in this country thanks to the quality and diversity of its wines.
