A magnum that showcases Toro at its finest, with juicy red fruit, subtle oak spice, and the added flair of its large size. What's the advantage of a magnum with red wine? Due to the lower oxygen-to-wine ratio, a magnum ages more slowly and retains freshness, tension, and depth longer, making it ideal for both the table and the cellar.
The grapes come from wire-trained vineyards with an average age of 35 years. The topsoil, composed of sand and stones, warms quickly while draining well, making Tinta de Toro ripe and concentrated. Cool nights keep the acidity vibrant. Harvesting is carried out by hand into crates and rigorously selected again in the cellar.
Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature for 17 days, with two remontages per day. Remontage involves pumping the must over the skins to optimally extract color, aroma, and soft tannins. The wine is aged for five months in medium-toasted French oak barrels. The alcohol content is 15 percent. The character remains fruit-driven, with just the right amount of oak influence for roundness and length.
Tinta de Toro 100 percent. This is the local Tempranillo with compact bunches and thick skins, beloved in Toro for its concentrated berry aromas, natural structure, and powerful color that also shines beautifully in magnum format.
