The wine

From such an important and experienced winemaker as Marcos Eguren one could expect nothing less than great wines. Románico gives us the opportunity to try it an incredible price. Without spending a fortune, you'll enjoy a wine with considerable body and a nice glycerin texture, packed full of fruit, intense, spicy, aromatic and with a long life ahead.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

The entry-level red 2020 Románico was produced with Tinta de Toro grapes from younger vines (10 to 35 years old, most of them grafted because it's forbidden to plant ungrafted...) in the villages of Valdefinjas and Toro. It fermented in a traditional way, foot trodden and with soft pump-overs, with indigenous yeasts selected from their own vineyards and matured in used French oak barrels for six months but not for 100% of the volume, as they keep part of the wine unoaked and in stainless steel. It has 14.85% alcohol and a pH of 3.73. This is clean, juicy, modern and with a velvety and luxurious texture (a constant across the portfolio) with integrated oak. It's a fresher vintage, a little in the style of 2014 or 2010. 95,100 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2022.

Marcos Eguren understands it perfectly and proved this with the wines of his first project in the region, Numanthia Termes, powerful wines, always subtle and elegant. Teso La...
