Bodega La Ermita Toro Red Wine

The Bodega La Ermita Toro Red Wine is an authentic wine treasure that comes from one of the oldest and most cared for heritage in Spain. This exclusive selection comes from old glass vineyards, with an extremely limited production of Tinta de Toro, a historical clone of the Tempranillo variety.

These vineyards are planted in deep, sandy, stony soils, an environment that has been immune to the devastating phylloxera, allowing the vines to thrive in all their splendor.

From harvesting to aging, each stage of the production of Bodega La Ermita Toro Red Wine is carried out with a meticulous and artisanal approach. The harvest is carried out manually, ensuring a careful selection of the grapes at their optimal point of maturity. Once harvested, the grapes are destemmed and subjected to a fermentative pre-maceration at low temperature. This allows the essential flavors and aromas of the grapes to be gradually extracted before beginning fermentation in stainless steel tanks.

During the fermentation process, techniques such as delestages and daily pumping over are carried out, which consist of mixing and aerating the must to obtain a greater color extract and aromatic compounds. These traditional practices highlight the distinctive qualities of Tinta de Toro, giving the wine a unique richness and complexity.

The next phase is malolactic, a natural transformation that occurs in stainless steel tanks, where the strongest acids are converted into lactic acid, providing softness and creaminess to the wine. Then, aging begins in American and French oak barrels for a period of 24 months, which provides elegant notes of spices and vanilla, complementing the fruity intensity of Tinta de Toro.

After this stage, the wine continues its evolution in the bottle until it reaches its complete refinement. It should be noted that no clarification process is carried out, which preserves the authenticity of the wine and enhances its natural nuances.
