"The power and grace of Numanthia"
Spain has many delicious wines to offer and one little known viticulture area is Toro. It is hard to believe that an area that has been making wine for more than two thousand years is so easily overlooked. These vines are tough and tenacious and actually resisted the phylloxera epidemic that devistated Europe's vineyards in the 19th century.
I fell in love with this wine several years ago and was immediately seduced by it's concentrated and powerful yet silky and sexy nature. At the time I was planning a trip to France and Spain and decided that I would pay a visit to my new found love...
*The hearty vines of Toro
*Gateway to delicious Toro Tempranillo
*The three wines of Numanthia in concrete...Termanthia, Numanthia and Termes
*The slumbering wines of Numanthia
The wines of Numanthia come in three tiers...Termes, Numanthia and Termanthia...lowest to highest (respectively). The wines begin with intense berry notes and gain silkiness and elegant texture as they mature. If you are looking to pair your next paella up...try one of Toro's best!
Salud!
