In the Vineyard: Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) grapes from centenary old vineyards of low production. Soils based on sand, clay and rolling stones with a limestone subsoil. The Tempranillo grapes develop substantially thicker skins than in other parts of Spain due to the elevated temperatures during the day that drop substantially at night. This confers a very characteristic concentration to Toro wines.

In the Winery: Minimum intervention elaboration using gravity in all stages. Gentle ageing in oak to preserve the varietal character. Kiko Calvo employs his many years of training in different winemaking areas in the world, including California, to elaborate wines of character but easy to drink.

In the Palate: Intense and elegant with aromas of black and red fruit, licorice and cedar. Fresh but with structure and persistent with a bitter aftertaste.
