Somontano Designation of Origin

In its 30 years of existence, the Somontano Designation of Origin (D.O.), reflect the traditions of centuries of wine culture in the region but that also represent the strong values of modernity and differentiation.

Since the very beginnings of the D.O. (a designated area where wine growing activities are strictly controlled) the wines of Somontano have achieved excellent market positioning with both their brand and image. This is due to recognition of the quality of the brands by discerning consumers as well as the most prestigious wine guides in Spain. In the nineties the leading wineries directed growth and consolidation in the region, and were responsible for the widespread respect and success of Somontano wines. At the start of the 21st century the area saw the arrival of new, innovative wineries with modern technology and avant-garde design that guaranteed both excellent wine and unforgettable visits to their impressive facilities. This new growth generated an expansion of the markets and reinforced the image of the Somontano brand.

The Somontano D.O. has other factors that distinguish its wines from others in the sector. Its history; the soil and climate; the vineyards and their range of grape varieties; the quality controls applied by viticulturists, wineries and the D.O. council; the technical ability and dedication of staff in wine-related companies and the excellent positioning of the Somontano brand and its wineries. Finally, the effort made promoting and selling the wines at the appropriate price are fundamental factors that define and explain the rapid evolution of Somontano wines and the strength of their brand.

So strong are these factors that the best known market research companies in Spain agree that Somontano is currently one of the best recognised wine brands in the country. It is one of the smallest regions – with a total of 4,300 hectares of vineyards and 31 wineries – yet is the third most recognised D.O. in Spain and its name adds value and prestige to wines from all of its wineries.

The centre of the region presents a landscape that has been shaped by man over centuries. Small, regularly spaced plots give the area a mosaic-like appearance, made up of cultivated parcels, natural vegetation, areas of scrubland and wild thickets. The olive tree orchards and almond groves, the precise rows of vines, the fields planted with crops and cereals and the holm-oak forests convert the landscape into a patchwork tapestry of great artistic value, revealing different textures and colours that change with the seasons.

The vast stretches of vineyards, on the banks of the River Vero and in the environs of villages such as Salas Altas, Salas Bajas and Montesa, reveal a variety of rich colours throughout the year. As winter disappears, the green of the cereals contrasts sharply with the silver of the olive leaves and the brilliant white of the almond trees in flower. The spring brings splashes of green to the vineyards and in autumn the banks of the rivers and the vineyards are resplendent in burnished reds and vibrant golds.
