Viñas del Vero ‘Winemaker’s Selection’ Clarión 2004 DO Somontano VIÑAS DEL VERO Viñas del Vero Winemaker’s selection series comprises two wines that reflect the personality and creativity of their creator. They are made from grapes specially selected by oenologist Pedro Aibar from amongst the best grapes harvested from their best vineyards. The premium white grapes used to produce this exclusive Clarión were hand picked at the beginning of September 2001 in the early morning hours. The difficult climatic conditions during harvest necessitated a very thorough and careful winemaking process. A skin maceration was carried out over 6 hours at 16ºC before the alcoholic fermentation, which took place at the same temperature for 20 days. The wine was not aged in oak and was fined with bentonite before undergoing an earth filtration. It was bottled in February 2005. Grape Varieties: Finest white grapes from Somontano Total Vineyards: 1,160 hectares Annual Production: 3,500 cases Oenologist: Pedro Aibar Commercial Manager: Javier Santafé Export Manager: Bernardo Hualde Region: DO Somontano Wine: 2004 Viñas del Vero Clarión Producer: Viñas del Vero RRP: € 19.50 Importer: Mackenway Distributors Ltd Stockists: Mc Hugh’s Off Licence, The Vintry, Rathgar, Londis, Malahide, Morton’s of Galway, De Vine Wines, Letterkenny, MJ Wines, Dundalk.
