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.

Vintage 2011

Rioja: Hot, dry weather throughout the summer set the stage for ripe, deeply flavored wines that tend to be low-acid and fruit-forward, with round tannins that will ensure positive aging over at least the coming decade.

Written Notes

Deep dark bright red with light ruby tones. This intense and complex wine showcases notes of fresh and mature fruits, especially strawberries and figs which are accompanied by flavors of cream pastry. The nose goes on to uncover light balsamic touches perfectly integrated with spices such as black pepper combined with notes of tobacco leaves and tiramisu.

An intense, powerful and vigorous wine displaying great structure. Impressive fruit expression accompanied by sweet and well ripened tannins, leading to a marked, unctuous mouth feel. A long and persistent finish with spicy and cacao notes.

The 2011 vintage was quite early in our region.

The end of the 2010 autumn was very fresh, humid and followed by an extremely cold winter with abundant snow falls during December. The spring was early, warm and humid, thus the bud burst started on the 30th of March, quite early for the region, as well as flowering, which began by the 25th of May, fifteen days earlier than usual.

Spring storms happened, increasing the water availability for the vine while decreasing the amount of berries in the grapes due to limited berry set.

Veraison was achieved during the first week of August, after a very dry and mild summer with very marked thermal amplitude that ended with high temperatures.

Harvest started on the 16th of September and finished on the 5th of October.
