Solombra is a new range of Fairtrade certified wines which we launched in early 2010. We have created the brand name for this range by taking the word "Sol" (sun in Spanish) and "Sombra" (shade in Spanish), and putting them together to make Solombra, referring to the balance between light and darkness, and therefore reflecting the necessary balance and justice Fairtrade brings.
