After Vega de Toro, the producer of Numanthia and Termanthia, was taken over by Moët & Chandon, the former owners bought old wine plots and the production of Almirez, Victorino and Alabaster started. Almirez comes from 50 year old vines and has been aged in wood for 14 months. This sensational wine is a 100% Tinta de Tora. The Almirez has an inky black/couple color in the glass. It is a full complex wine with ripe dark red fruit: black currants, cassis, caramel, coffee, minerals, tobacco and beautiful wood tones. This full-bodied Almirez is fleshy in the aftertaste with great density and purity and an elongated aftertaste. According to Robert Parker, a wine with ".....and a finish that lasts nearly 40 seconds" Unbeatable value for money. The Almirez is a wine that will be a great asset for the next 10 years+.

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | Deze inktzwarte 2018 Teso la Monja Almirez levert volle, complexe smaken van rijp donkerrood fruit zoals zwarte bessen en cassis, aangevuld met tonen van karamel, koffie, tabak, mineralen en subtiel hout, met een vlezig en langdurig einde. Door zijn krachtige tannines, rijke dichtheid en zuiverheid snijdt hij uitstekend door vette en hartige smaken, waardoor hij perfect samengaat met gegrild of rosé gebraden rundvlees, langzaam gestoofd lam of stoofschotels, rijke charcuterie en rijpere kazen; extra goed werkt langzaam garen op lage temperatuur, langzaam gestoofde sukadelappen of lamsschenkels en gegrild vlees met een licht gerookt of gekaramelliseerd oppervlak om de hartige en geroosterde tonen van de wijn te versterken. |

From: The Vast Bounty of Central Spain (Feb 2021)
Brilliant ruby. Powerful, deep-pitched dark berry, cherry and cola scents are lifted by lively floral and mineral flourishes. Coats the palate with sappy blackberry and bitter cherry flavors that show excellent clarity, complicated by fruitcake, licorice and vanilla nuances. Lingers with superb intensity on a spice- and mineral-driven finish that echoes the dark berry and vanilla notes.
- By Josh Raynolds on January 2021
Toro doesn’t get anywhere near the attention afforded to neighboring Ribera del Duero, but its top wines - and this bodega produces some of the very best - can be just as complex and equal in quality to Ribera’s most famous names. Established in 2007 by the Eguren family, of Rioja fame (Sierra Cantabria, etc.), Teso La Monja quickly earned a reputation for producing some of Toro’s most intense, deeply flavored wines, and the Egurens have never looked back. This is a no-expense-spared operation and the wines show it, from the entry level on up.

The Spanish winery Teso La Monja is located in the Toro. The winery heralds a new era for the Eguren family in DO Toro, a land from which she fell in love with the capacity of the old pre-phylloxera vines. Teso La Monja was founded in 2007. Wines that bring the potential of the Tinta de Toro with elegance, finesse and freshness, shared by all wines of the Eguren family attributes. The Almirez, Victorino and also the great Romanico (unprecedented good value for money in our opinion) are invariably 90+ Parker and Penin wines. Not surprising knowing that the Eguren family is also behind the Alabaster cult wine.
The Teso La Monja winery is located on north-facing loam soils with gravel on the surface, providing longer vegetative cycles for achieving balanced, powerful yet elegant wines that convey the maximum potential of soil minerality.
