Somontano reds are typically full-coloured with a high tannin content and good acidity that allows long ageing. The whites are fresh, full-bodied and pale in colour. The rosés are characterised by a wide range of colours, and are fresh, fruity, and mild in flavour.
A wide range of international grapes are grown, making varietals from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Gewurztraminer and Chardonnay. The resulting wines have a remarkable finesse and delicacy. They are also very good value - but unfortunately that doesn't necessarily mean low-cost.
