Tempranillo from Toro, Spain

The 2020 Románico, originating from Toro, boasts a garnet red hue. This wine offers ripe black fruits, such as blueberry and blackberry, layered over cedar-like oak with hints of wild herbs. Dry and rich on the palate, the juicy flow leads to a slightly compact mouthfeel. This is a tasteful and balanced Toro red.

93 points, Joaquín Hidalgo, Vinous (Dec 2023)

The entry-level red 2020 Románico was produced with Tinta de Toro grapes from younger vines (10 to 35 years old, most of them grafted because it's forbidden to plant ungrafted...) in the villages of Valdefinjas and Toro. It fermented in a traditional way, foot trodden and with soft pump-overs, with indigenous yeasts selected from their own vineyards and matured in used French oak barrels for six months but not for 100% of the volume, as they keep part of the wine unoaked and in stainless steel. It has 14.85% alcohol and a pH of 3.73. This is clean, juicy, modern and with a velvety and luxurious texture (a constant across the portfolio) with integrated oak. It's a fresher vintage, a little in the style of 2014 or 2010. 95,100 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2022.
