The Story

Numanthia is our Estate’s signature, renowned as the reference for the Toro designation. It is a subtle blend of grapes from more than 100 parcels of the finest terroirs offering unique balance, elegance and power. Numanthia’s style depends on the selection of exceptional vines, aged between 50 and 100 years old, ungrafted and non-irrigated. Year after year, their low yields deliver grapes of extreme concentration with intense fruit and structure.

Written Notes

Cherry red with chocolate reflects, very clean and shiny
 As a heritage of its youth, the Numanthia 1998 kept black berries fruity notes (cassis, blackberries) and conserved spices and cacao aromas. Thanks to the perfect ageing conditions in our cellars, this wine reached an additional complexity level revealing new smoky, tobacco and leather notes.
Full bodied with present tannins, enormously-endowed and unctuously- texture. A wine with a very intense aftertaste.

998 winter was a cold and rainy winter. Hence, the underground water reserves were full and helped an exceptional vegetative development.

In February, thanks to the good temperatures, this extraordinary vine growth continued. It slows down the following months due to unfortunate atmospheric conditions.

During the first steps of flowering, the temperatures decreased. This fresh atmosphere prejudiced the berries development and blocked the creation of a healthy clusters great number.

Between July and August, the summer heat and the rain shortage generated an abnormal amount of great size grapes and very healthy clusters. At the end, all these specific conditions, came to less but much qualitative yields.

Finally, 1998 was a good year for great wines ageing. It stayed in the memories for the perfect balance between maturity, acidity and healthiness.
