PRODUCT DETAILS
From Spain's celebrated Toro region, this fresh, elegant and expressive Tinta de Toro is a blend of the finest grapes from the estate's best parcels, matured in French oak. Time and patience were key with this vintage. A long harvest and careful ageing – in barrel and in bottle – have ensured the optimum balance between fruity intensity and mineral freshness.

AROMA
On the nose the wine is elegant, pleasant, fresh and deep, with hints of red berries, cocoa, sweet spices and floral background.
PALATE
The entrance is gentle, ample and sweet. It shows great expression and balance, with smooth, well-coated tannins and a great sense of volume. Ripe fruits such as blue berries and black currants, notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and a finish with hints of rosemary and graphite make it long and complex. Good acidity lengthens it.

BLEND AND ORIGIN
The 100% tinta de toro grapes for this wine withstood a hot summer, with each parcel reaching optimum ripeness at a different stage of the long harvest. Hand-harvested, the grapes were fermented in stainless steel, then aged 18 months in French oak (60% new) before blending. The resulting wine was aged a further 24 months in the bottle.
