Somontano means “at the foot of the mountain” and
perfectly defines the geographic area where it sits this
designation of origin, since it is a transition zone between
the Ebro River valley and Pyrenees.

and limestone and alluvial material. It
has low fertility and good drainage.

meters and 650 meters away.
The climate, continental, is softened

“Heir to a tradition of generations of
winemakers and after a lifetime devoted
to the world of wine in the Somontano
I've been fortunate to be able to start this
project with the hope of returning to the
wine all that wine has given me. With the
support of my children and hundreds of
friends and professionals of the vineyard
and wine.”
Mariano Beroz.
After several generations dedicated to growing grapes on this land and
looking for the most appropriate plots for each of the main varieties of
Somontano, our vineyard of 115 hectares
inks Syrah, CabernetSauuvignon , Merlot, Tempranillo, Garnacha, Parraleta and Moristel
addition to the white Chardonnay and Gewürztraminer.
In 2006 Beroz performed the first wine with a selection of his best and
oldest vineyards of red grapes, used entirely to wines aged in new
French oak forests of Allier and Nevers.

to red fruits and we also find spicy notes at the end. It is an attractive,
elegant wine.
