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

Deep dark bright red with light ruby tones.

This intensely complex wine showcases several aromatic layers: first are notes of fresh, red fruits including strawberries and cherries which are accompanied by flavors of cream pastries. The nose goes on to reveal light balsamic touches including hints of cedar all of which are perfectly integrated with sweet spices such as cardamom and cinnamon and nutty flavors including toasted almonds.

An intense, robust and nervy wine displaying incredible structure. Impressive fruit expression, sweet, well ripened tannins, leading to a meaty, viscous mouth feel. A long and persistent finish with an extremely wide range of fruity aromas as well as toasted and spicy notes, highlighting the complexity and handcrafted character of this wine.

The end of the 2008 autumn was cold and humid and followed by a very cold winter with abundant snow falls, allowing complete vineyard dormancy.

The spring was warm and dry and the bud burst started around the 25th of April, a little bit early for the region.

Flowering took place by the 12th of June, a month that had quite high temperatures until the end of ripeness, ideal climate for outstanding sanitary conditions.

Half of the veraison was achieved at the end of July after a very dry and warm month.

The Toro vineyards have been able to fully complete its ripeness cycle in a quite warm and dry season and harvest finally started on the 14th of September.
