Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot DO 2018 - Viñas del Vero

The Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot from Viñas del Vero is a wonderful red wine cuvée from the Spanish wine region DO Somontano.

This wine appears in an intense garnet red with violet reflections in the glass. The aroma of this Spanish red wine is characterised by aromas of black berries, cranberries and plums and is underlined by a hint of oak spice. On the palate this red wine is velvety soft and yet powerful with dark fruit and filigree spice. The oak wood is beautifully integrated into the body and harmonises wonderfully with the fullness of the fruit and the gently ripened tannins. The finish convinces with elegance and beautiful length.
