Extraordinary wine of terroir of elegant and complex character, made from 100% Tinta de Toro, the local name for the Tempranillo grape. Exclusively ungrafted from selected very old vines that are over 45 years old and planted on their own roots-Pylloxera-free.

Production:

After meticulous work at the vineyard, always with a total respect for nature and the expression of the terroir, the grapes are hand harvested to get the most intense and mature fruit. The vinification is artisanal in a modern winery. 

Fermented in cement vats and matured for 16 months in 225-liter French oak barrels.

Aged in bottle for a minimum of 24 months before its release.

Tasting Notes:

Intense and smooth, voluptuous and round, with a huge weight of ripe plum fruit, deep fruit, good structure, power, and class. Great length and plenty of tannins, firm and round. A big Toro wine in need of food.

Note: With a good structure to age, it should evolve for another 8 to 15 years.

THE WINERY

Proprietor Antony Terry, a vigneron in Toro, made his passion a reality with the support of his family, and, as a result, Dominio del Bendito Winery was born in 2004. From here on, Antony produces authentic and personal wines of the highest quality, exclusively handcrafted red wines made of Tinta de Toro, sourced from the 13 hectares of his own vineyards plus another 15 hectares that he closely oversees. Small plots in one of the best vineyards in Toro: "La Jara", a unique and ancient vineyard site next to the river Duero, enjoying exceptional climatic and geological conditions where most of the vines are very old, over 45 years old, planted on their own roots, and the rest between 14 and 30 years old.
