Matarredonda Toro Juan Rojo(2003)

Bodegas Matarredonda is a relatively new wine maker with the wisdom of a producer that’s been around for as long as their centenary vines have. Their traditional philosophy in grape cultivation couples well with cutting edge technology in the grape selection and wine making process.
Juan Rojo is made with 80 to 120 year old Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) vines, that were thankfully, spared by phylloxera in the 19th century.

Made from 70-140 year Tempranillo vines grown in sandy soils, the Juan Rojo shows intense concentration, and notes of tobacco and black fruit. This wine sees 8 months of French oak, giving this wine a subtle toastiness, along with chewy, denser tannins.
