Winemaker Manuel Fariña vinifies this Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) completely without the influence of wood. This young and fresh red wine just explodes with aromas of ripe dark berries. It has a good fullness, with remarkable soft tannins and shows all the typical characteristics of a "Tinta de Toro" with its rich flavor.
Located west of Rueda, Toro with its Tinta de Toro grape, a variant of Tempranillo, has been discovered in export only in recent years. Unlike Ribera del Duero, Toro is a less susceptible area to spring frosts. The wines are remarkably soft, dense and sometimes high in alcohol.

In Spain, the bloody civil war had only recently ended, while in the rest of Europe the 2nd World War was raging. No one could have guessed at the time that this bumpy start would be the beginning of one of Spain's most successful wineries. When Manuel Fariña took over the winery in the late 1960s, he had only recently finished his viticulture studies. He came back to Toro to his father's winery with many radical ideas and visions. Manuel knew exactly what changes he had to make in order to be able to produce first-class wines here, because until then the Toro region had only been considered a producer of cheap everyday wines that were considered rustic and too rich in alcohol.
