The wine
A red wine that does not like to be hurried. Made from a selection of grapes sourced from vines aged over 45 years old, this is a Toro that requires some patience in order to enjoy it to the full with all its character and intensity.
Elegant, well-executed, powerful but restrained, vibrant but balanced and rounded, it represents that “second” level of Toro wines, a fruit-forward wine that is fresh and lively, and offering an even more elegant presence and harmonious structure than can be found in its cellar sibling El Primer Paso.
Aged for 16 months in French (80%) and American (20%) oak barrels.
