The red Vermador has a bright, slightly translucent ruby ​​red color.

The wine is dry and the red fruit and herbs are reflected in the taste. Vermador red has a medium flavor intensity with soft tannins.

Afterwards, the wine rests for some time in stainless steel tanks until bottling.

Vermador red is very suitable for drinks or to serve at the table. Pairs well with vegetarian dishes, casseroles with vegetables and gratinated cheese, pasta carbonara and barbecued meat.
