Toro Wines

"Toro is a Spanish region that connoisseurs mention whenever they talk about potent, full-bodied, intense red wine, well-fitting with the region’s name. Tempranillo, or Tinta de Toro, is the grape responsible for this famous wine, and by far the most dominant type of grape to grow in Toro. Dark-hued, thick-skinned and wonderfully equipped to handle warm days and cold nights, Tempranillo is a favorite all around Spain. Its bold tannins and supportive structure make it a good backbone in many blends, resulting in beautiful bouquets and palates of strawberry, tobacco, blackberry, chocolate, prunes and black currants.

Besides this champion of Toro, other grapes grown in this region include Garnacha, Malvasia Blanca and Verdejo, used for rare, special bottles of whites and roses. The interest in these and some other grape varietals are increasing as winemakers recognize the potential of this region’s terroir. Even with wines as established as Tinta de Toro, the world is yet to see the full breadth of Toro’s viticulture. Still, this superior red isn’t likely to be surpassed any time soon. It’s a crucial puzzle piece of Spanish viticulture that offers a different lens into this country’s abundant, complex culture, as well as the noble craft of winemaking itself. "

2019 Alvar de Dios Aciano

The elegant red from Toro, the 2019 Aciano was produced with the grapes from a three-hectare plot of old ungrafted vines planted in 1919 on sand, sandstone and limestone soils. It’s aromatic, perfumed and elegant, with moderate ripeness (for the zone), 14% alcohol and very good freshness and balance, coming through as fine-boned and medium-bodied with very fine tannins. It fermented with 100% full clusters that were foot trodden daily during the fermentation with indigenous yeasts and then only wetting the cap, with a soft and very long maceration that lasted some 45 to 60 days. It matured in 500- and 800-liter oak barrels and 1,500- and 2,100-liter oak foudres for 12 months, followed by a further 12 months in concrete. Delicious and super elegant Toro! 8,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2022.Robert Parker Wine Advocate | 94 RPA touch of nice funk and freshly turned soil adds interest to the aromas of salted plums, peppercorns and cherries.
