Botas de Barro Tinta de Toro DO Toro, 2018

Dried fruits and spicy aromas precede a sweet fruit character on the palate. This is a rich medium bodied wine with good mid palate and ripe flavours. Tinta de Toro is a local variant of Tempranillo. It has evolved to adapt to the extreme hot and dry conditions in Toro, producing tiny grapes that are hugely concentrated in flavour with thick skins and high tannin content. Some of the oldest vines in the world are found in Toro, thanks to its sandy soils which protect against Phylloxera. The wine was matured for five months in American oak.
