General Information
Viñas del Vero Merlot Tempranillo Rosado 2022 is the result of a painstaking winemaking process designed to produce a rosé that’s an ideal choice, all year round, for anyone looking for a wine that’s fresh and subtle but has a good structure and concentred aromas. This magnificent blend of Merlot and Tempranillo will pleasantly surprise any palate.
The Merlot and Tempranillo grapes from which Viñas del Vero makes this delicious rosé came from plots with sandy-loam and stony soils located in Salas Bajas, Barbastro and Pozán de Vero, at an altitude between 350 and 450 metres. Harvesting takes place at night in order to preserve the highest possible concentration of aromas in the grapes, and maceration is also a key part of the process, as the berries remain in the vats for as long as needed until the must acquires the desired colour. Once the free-run must has been obtained, it undergoes several temperature-controlled rackings and the final coupage is carried out.
Viñas del Vero Merlot Tempranillo Rosado 2022, made to the standards of the D.O. Somontano, is ideal on its own or with all kinds of appetisers, rice and pasta dishes, salads, spicy foods and grilled meats.

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.
