Somontano has been at the cutting edge of the Spanish wine industry for the past 10 years and is recognised as where new world wine advances have combined with Spain’s traditional values. The company at the forefront of this vitality is Enate. Since its formation in 1991 it now commands 27% of the region’s export sales and is respected for its premium quality in 30 countries. The investment has been colossal. The company has 600 hectares of vineyards in production.

Success is obvious with every market under a strict stock allocation.
