Honoro Vera is the new project of the Gil family, which are world famous with its El Nido and Clio wines, but also has very small beautiful domains where the best of the region is brought out on a very small scale. All these wines are all gems. The name Honoro Vera is a tribute to the Gil family where Honoro is the name of Miquel Gil's grandfather and Vera of his grandmother
In 2005, Bodega Ateca, 55 hectares in size, was established in the village of the same name. The cuvée Honoro Vera is composed with Grenache Noir from a very old gnarled vineyard. The traditional fermentation is followed by a short maturing in French oak barriques (3-5 months). The wine shows a beautiful purple-red color and develops an expressive aroma in which notes of cassis, blackberry and cherries in alcohol fuse together with dark chocolate and a little mint. On the palate there is initially a strong attack, followed by tasty fruit, fresh tannins and spices. The whole ends in a meaty and balanced final. In Perswijn the wine has been given the status: Selected and that is not surprising given the unprecedented good price / quality ratio
The Honoro Vera Garnach is a smooth red wine. Delicious as a standalone glass and perfect with rice, pasta (noodles, spaghetti, macaroni), white and blue fish, goat cheese, cold meats, vegetables, lentil soup and grilled meat.
Bodega Ateca is nestled in the picturesque region of Calatayud, Spain, it is a hidden gem that captivates wine enthusiasts from around the world, it is part of the Orowines Group, a project led by the Gil family. With a rich history dating back centuries, Ateca embodies the essence of Spanish winemaking traditions while embracing modern techniques.
At the heart of Bodega Ateca’s success lies their dedication to producing outstanding Garnacha wines. Known for its bold flavours and distinctive expression, Garnacha thrives in the Calatayud region, and Sarah Morris, the winemaker, showcases its full potential through her expert craftsmanship.
