Grape variety: 100% Merlot
Origin: DOP Pago Vera de Estenas, Utiel-Requena, Valencia, Spain
Vineyard: Historic Merlot vineyard, planted in 1981 by Francisco Martínez Bermell on the highest site of Finca Casa Don Ángel. Due to natural yield reduction, the vines produce loose, healthy grapes, yielding approximately 1.5 kg per vine.
Soils: Calcareous clay soils with good drainage.
Climate: Continental-Mediterranean climate with hot days and cool nights, leading to early ripening and aromatic concentration.
Vinification: Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in new French oak barrels (225 l), followed by aging for 2 months in the same barrels.
Maturation: 2 months in new French oak barrels
Alcohol content: 14.5% vol.
Tasting Note: Intense cherry red with a violet rim and dense teardrops. Ripe red fruits, violets, subtle vanilla, and roasted aromas on the nose. Fresh and balanced on the palate, with round tannins, mineral notes, and a long, elegant finish.
Food recommendation: Ideal with beef, lamb or mature cheese.
This wine is the region’s first “Vino de Pago” and honors the founder of the winery, Francisco Martínez Bermell.

The winery
Félix Martínez is the third generation to run the bodega, founded in 1945. His bush vines stand at 800 metres at the foot of the Sierra del Remedio, where the Solano wind takes the edge off the summer heat.
Vino de Pago is the highest quality level for Spanish estates. It applies to smaller estates that make outstanding wine and meet further criteria. Vera de Estenas received it in 2013, in recognition of the estate's microclimate and its consistently high quality. Only a few bodegas in Spain may use the name. The Merlot carries the origin “D.O.P. Pago Vera de Estenas”.
