Balcon de la Villa Toro 2011 - Case of 6

• " .."Toro can be packed with flavour and armoured with mighty tannins, so this is something of an achievement - dark as tar and engine oil, dense and muscular, yet it isn't bitter. Through a haze of drifting smoke and warm stones, you can taste luscious, ripe blackcurrant and black plums" - Recommended by Oz Clarke, 250 Best Wines 2012"
• " .."Big hearty reds are what Spain does best. This Toro is packed with herby, spicy black fruits and has a subtle oak taste that comes from the American barrels it was aged in. It's full-bodied enough to go with a pot roast and its great value for money" - Jamie Goode, Sunday Express"
• ABOUT THIS WINE:
  The Toro winemaking region is set on Spain's high western plateau. It is a land of extreme conditions: harsh winters, hot summers and arid and sun-drenched. As a result, the local vines - sparsely planted gnarled old Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) for the main part - grow small, intensely flavoured berries with thick skins. This makes for a sturdy food-friendly style of wine that marries perfectly with the hearty local cuisines.
