Discovering Vero Wines

Vero Verde is a small, family-owned winery based in the Marlborough Sounds region of New Zealand. The name Vero means “water green”. They produce Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot and other great wine varietals. Owner Martin Vero discovered the Chardonnay wine when he was experimenting with different types of grape varieties. After discovering grape varieties that were more fruity, he decided to create a white wine for his tasting room only.

It wasn’t long before he launched his first wine brand, now known as Vero Verde. He wanted to create a very unique wine, so he went about researching different types of grapes used to make the wine. After finding the right combination, he began bottling and distributing the wine himself. He named the brand after his great grandfather, who was a renowned alpine hunter and served in the military. Because of this, the company enjoys a strong history and following.

Many people enjoy Vero Verde wines, and their popularity has also spread to the United States. It is the recipient of many awards, including multiple gold statues for excellence in the category of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Merlot, and other wines. Chardonnay is especially well-known in California, with its popularity increasing even more with the popularity of its sub-style, the California Chardonnay. In fact, Chardonnays are so well-known in the US that there is even a short-lived TV show, Chardonnay on the Grill, that features three chefs who create a special dinner for an exclusive group of clients each week.
