The French cabernet sauvignon and the Spanish tempranillo make an excellent tandem in Viñas del Vero Crianza 2021. The leading winery of Somontano produces this expressive and powerful red wine on the nose, and smooth and persistent on the palate.
Viñas del Vero Crianza 2021 is a reliable choice among wines in its category from Somontano. The origin of the cabernet sauvignon and tempranillo grapes used in its production lies in the vineyards of Bafaluy, Laquías, Borraz, and Riverola. These plots are located in a dry-farming area, with sandy-loam soils, at over 400 meters above sea level, and oriented from north to south to achieve better sun exposure. There, the fruits of the most appreciated French variety and the quintessential Spanish grape find the perfect conditions to develop their full potential.
After a meticulous selection of the best clusters, Viñas del Vero began the production process of this Crianza by destemming and crushing the berries, followed by cooling and transferring them to tanks. The must macerated with its skins for 48 hours before starting the fermentation process, which lasted 14 days. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was racked, and only the free-run wines were used for the final coupage, which aged for several months in oak barrels.
With a modern and innovative style that confidently incorporates both native and international varieties in its winemaking, Viñas del Vero has become one of the driving forces behind the growth experienced by the D.O. Somontano in recent years, particularly among younger audiences. Wines like this Viñas del Vero Crianza 2021 are a true reflection of this philosophy—a pleasant red wine that is perfect for pairing with red meats, small game dishes, spiced stews, flavorful fish, and all kinds of cheeses.

In appearance, Viñas del Vero Crianza is bright, with a deep cherry-red color and well-covered layer.
On the nose, it is expressive and powerful. Aromas of well-ripened red fruits (plum, cherry) are harmoniously combined with herbal notes (eucalyptus leaf, thyme) and hints of nuts such as walnut and hazelnut.
Pleasant and balanced on the palate, this is a delightful and flavorful wine with a long finish.
