Discover the grape variety: Tinta de toro

Powerful, deeply coloured reds with a dark, deep ruby robe, robust tannins and a dense, high-alcohol palate, showing signature aromas of ripe black fruits (blackberry, cassis), plum, spice, leather and roasted notes. A monumental profile shaped by Toro's extreme thermal swings. The undisputed star of Toro DO in Castilla y León, one of Tempranillo's most powerful expressions. The synonym for Tempranillo grown on the Toro terroir.

The wine region of Marlborough

World reference for Sauvignon Blanc: aromatic, exuberant whites with signature notes of passion fruit, gooseberry, grapefruit and cut grass, sharp lively acidity and an iodised finish. King grape on 71% of the vineyard since 1972. Also fine, silky Pinot Noir (cherry, plum, spice), taut Chardonnay and lively Riesling. Traditional-method sparklers on the rise.


The wine region of South Island

New Zealand's southern island, cradle of the country's great wines. Sauvignon Blanc signature in Marlborough (~80% of national vineyard): explosive and tropical with grapefruit, passion fruit, boxwood, cut grass and mineral touch — global benchmark. Pinot Noir star in Central Otago (among the most southerly) and Waipara: airy with cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, thyme. Taut Riesling, precise Chardonnay, floral Pinot Gris.
