Wines made from Airen grapes of Toro
Discover the best wines made with Airen as a single variety or as a blend of Toro.
Simple, refreshing whites with a pale robe and a tender mouth, featuring discreet aromas of apple, citrus, fresh herbs and neutral notes. Moderate acidity, best drunk young. Very productive and drought-resistant, it produces easy-drinking whites in La Mancha DO and Valdepeñas DO on the Castilian plateau, and has historically supplied the base for Brandy de Jerez distillation. Native Spanish grape, long the world's most planted by surface area.
Historic DO of Castile and León, Duero valley near Portugal. Signature Tinta de Toro (local Tempranillo clone, 70%): powerful, concentrated reds with signature notes of blackberry, candied black cherry, plum, leather, tobacco, cocoa and spice, firm tannins and a dense palate — sunny wines of great ageing. Also round Garnacha, Malvasia and Verdejo as fresh whites. Extreme continental climate (40 °C summers), vineyards between 600-750 m.
