Blend and Origin
Harvest started a few days later than usual in Toro, Spain after a rainy spring and summer that kept temperatures cool and the ripening process steady. A long, careful maceration and fermentation followed, with extended time on skins to extract maximum tannin, flavour and colour. After some time in stainless steel tanks, the wine was aged in 60% new and 40% second-use French oak barrels.
This product can only be purchased by persons over 18 years of age.
