D.O. Toro

In 1987, this wine obtained the classification of Denomination of Origin and the production area was thereby limited to approximately 6000 hectares in the Toro area. The average production of each harvest is 18 million kg/grape, 90% of which is of the Tinta de Toro variety.

Characteristics

The River Duero is the hallmark of Toro wines and is complemented by very light soils which take advantage of the scarce rainfall and many hours of sunshine. This, together with the use of the indigenous Tinta de Toro variety, creates an excellentquality wine, based on old vineyards and very low levels of production.
