2022 Teso la Monja Victorino

The vineyards are located in Zamora, Valdefinjas and Villabuena. Toro is certainly famous for the many ungrafted/original vines that are not affected by the grape louse (Pre-phylloxera). The sandy soils ensure that the louse could not dig tunnels and thus could not reach the area. This is in contrast to more than 95% of all vineyards that were lost at that time, so we are still talking about ungrafted and therefore original authentic grapes (vines).

This is another top wine. 100% Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo). The grapes are picked exclusively by hand and collected in small boxes to avoid damage. The yield is 15hl/ha. 15 months maturation in French oak. Harvested exclusively from vines that are 45 years or older. Victorino is a very intensive, versatile, full-bodied Toro wine. Black fruit, cocoa, herbs, minerals and a long, impressive finish. Complex, concentrated, full, supple wine. Ripe black fruit, minerals, herbs, "roasted tones", ripe, full tannins and an impressive finish.

The EGUREN family sells its winery and with it NUMANTHIA and TERMANTHIA to Moët & Chandon. The EGUREN family has now started a new wine project in the DO Toro with TESO LA MONJA: Excellent plots in Zamora, Valdefinjas and Villabuena. The vineyards are located at an altitude of 650-800 m. and have a mainly sandy soil. All plots are planted with "Tinta de Toro", a grape variety related to Tempranillo. The youngest vines are already 15-60 years old and the oldest between 60-100 years old. With this new wine project, the EGUREN family has made a sensational start.
