TORO WINE
TERROIR
TERROIR
- Typical soils are a perfect blend of clay, sand and gravel in different percentages across the region. The high percentage of sand in these soils protected the region from Phyloxera at the end of the 20th Century ensuring the conservation of these amazing old vines. These soils are deep, well drained and poor of organic material. The underlying clay soil helps preserve the tiny amount of rain that falls, providing an essential life line for the vines in this extreme climate. The grapes come from one single vineyard, largely recognised amongst the best vineyard sites in the region.
- The climate is continental and is one of the driest regions in Spain with annual rainfall at around 300 – 350mm/year. During ripening, the days are very hot with drastic falls in nighttime temperatures which increases the aromatics in the grape. Day / night difference can often reach 20ºC. The climate conditions here are perfect for the production of high quality grapes, the essential beginning for high quality wines. The wines produced in this region is normally high in tannin due to the local grape´s thick skins and is therefore particularly good at resisting oxidation. They are great wines for ageing.
- Bright red in color with an explosion of wonderful complex aromas once uncorked (cherry, blackberry, raspberry, violets, toast and minerals). Once on the palate, its subtle flavours coming from the barrels are present. The wine is extremely well balanced and integrated with its rich layers of flavour leading to a lasting immersive sensory experience.
- Tinta de Toro
