Made for M&S by Ramon Vaca, Covitoro, from Tinta de Toro The Toro region is located along the Duero river on Spain’s western plateau. The climate is continental due to the altitude of approx 750m and the Atlantic influences. Here the sparsely planted, ungrafted Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) vines produce thick skinned berries with powerful flavours. A small amount of the wine was aged in American oak barrels. Dark, baked, plummy fruit. Quite nicely spicy and interesting but the alcohol is just too high. 19/09/08 14.50% |
