The raw materials of this spectacular value—100-year-old vines and poor sandy soils that made this the only part of Spain to resist the phylloxera scourge—give this Tempranillo clone incredible depth. The estate’s ancient Tinta de Toro plants are rascally and gnarled in their age. These sites also have excellent temperature variation, gifting the grapes with lush ripeness yet balancing them with invigorating acidity. The wine then gets spice and polish from a mix of French oak barriques that are between two and four years old.
