The wine region of Toro
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.
The wine region of Castille-et-Léon
Cradle of great Castilian reds on high-altitude plateaus (450-1000 m) of the Duero. Tempranillo king (Tinto Fino, Tinta de Toro): powerful, structured reds with notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, leather and spices, firm tannins and length worthy of long ageing. Stars: Ribera del Duero (Vega Sicilia, Pingus), fleshy Toro, Bierzo (fresh mineral Mencía). Lively herbaceous Verdejo whites from Rueda, cut grass and citrus.
The word of the wine: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
