Numanthia Termes 2006

In the middle ages Toro wines were enjoyed all over Spain and beyond. Reestablished in 1933 the Toro D.O. currently has 14,000 acres planted, but Numanthia Estate has single handedly put Spain’s Toro region back on the map, by producing award winning wines celebrated world wide, that have reached Icon status. Bodegas Numathia was founded in 1998 when the Eguren family purchased vineyards with some of the oldest vines in the region and focused on creating the absolute best Toro wines possible. These vineyards have un-grafted pre-phylloxera vines up to 120 years old. The high altitude (2,000 read more...feet) of the vineyards offers extremely favorable conditions for the grapes to mature and develop. The yields from these vines are some of the lowest in Europe averaging less that 1 ton per acre. The Tinta de Toro grape which is a clone of Tempranillo, is very dark in color, especially these very concentrated old vines grapes, so the wine shows deep color and rich extraction.

This 2006 Termes is made from grapes from vines averaging 30 year old. After a slow maceration the wine is put in one-year-old French oak barrels for 16 months of aging. It shows incredible complexity and strength. Wine Spectator recently scored it 93 points and said: “Muscular yet expressive, this red offers roasted plum, bitter chocolate, tobacco and hot stone notes. Thick, with rich, ripe tannins and just enough acidity to keep it lively.” Very limited!
