Viñas del Vero Gewürztraminer 2025

Viñas del Vero is based in Barbastro in Somontano, in central Aragón, and this is a young varietal Gewürztraminer from the Pago El Enebro. Gewürztraminer is a Central European grape prized for its perfume, and the aim here is to capture that aromatic intensity in a fresh, primary style. The fruit is selected and harvested at night while temperatures are low, then given a cold maceration and fermented at a controlled 10 to 12 degrees. That cool handling is the key to the wine, protecting the delicate volatile aromatics that heat would strip away and preserving freshness in a variety that can turn heavy. The colour is pale gold. The nose is fragrant and expressive, with lychee, rose and white flowers alongside ripe peach and a hint of ginger spice. The palate is fruity with a subtle sweet impression, the aromatics carried by soft acidity to a gently spiced finish. This is Gewürztraminer in its floral, approachable register rather than a weighty Alsace style. Serve well chilled at 8 to 10 degrees. It is a natural partner for aromatic spiced dishes.
