Description
Bodegas Vetus has vineyards in the DO Toro but also in the DO Rueda and in the DO Riax Baixas and belongs to the Grupo Artevino. Vetus comes from the Latin word veto - vetare, which means 'forbidden, not allowed'.
The Alba de Vetus AlbariƱo is a new addition to the Vetus family and has seen its light of day with vintage 2020. The wine is made by the undisputed Albarino specialists: Lalo AntĆ³n & Vanessa PĆ©rez. The grapes come from a selection of AlbariƱo plots in the area of O Rosal. The vineyard was planted 20 years ago and has a soil with a lot of limestone and graphite and has a north-westerly location and is around 100-150 meters above sea level so all the ingredients for a refined elegant style AlbariƱo. The grapes are hand-picked and destemmed and the wine has a very civilized alcohol percentage (12.5%) and fantastic acids (6.7 g / l, Ph 3.4) which gives the typical beautiful balance between the fruit and the acids and this makes this a fantastic AlbariƱo that can become even more beautiful with a few years of aging.
In the glass this delightful wine has a bright straw yellow colour with greenish highlights. In the nose aromas of herbs and white fruit followed by intense flavours, balanced by an elegant acidity in the mouth. The finish brings balsamic hints that ensure a long and pleasant finish. A delicious and well-made Albarino but anyway this is also from Vetus.

Vinum Wine Magazine - 2021 - 17.5/20
"Sehr subtile Nase: Agrumen und EiergebƤck. Am Gaumen saftig und mit sehr gut angepasster SƤure, zurĆ¼ckhaltend. Delikat und zierlich, hat was von einer scheuen Gazelle. Alles ist sehr zart verziert, mit Liebe zum Detail. Der Wein zeugt damit von einer zeitgenƶssischen Minimalistik."

Bodegas Vetus situated in the beautiful Toro area is characterized by a strive for excellent groundbreaking quality in its wine. Using state-of-the-art technologies and working with excellent grape qualities, this bodega reflects the essence of the Toro wine. Naturally, the best French woods are used to impose the wine. Due to a double manual selection of the grapes both in the vineyard and on the selection table, only the best grapes are eligible for vinification.
Since its founding in 2003, Bodegas Vetus has been committed to preserving the all-essential regional character of the Toro, while at the same time adding the winery new concepts. In 2003, the AntĆ³n family (the face of Grupo Artevino) expanded to the Toro region, well aware of the region's future potential. After selecting several vineyards, they made the first vintage from Vetus, a wine designed to fully preserve the essence of the region, but also complement it with new nuances and goals. Encouraged by the success of the wine, an estate was set up in the heart of the region and a bodega was built which opened in 2008. The bodega's design is modern and balanced and consists of 3 buildings, each in harmony with the others. Each building houses a different wine production process.
Bodegas Vetus is built on a ridge and overlooks the beautiful estate. The vineyards are planted with Tinta de Toro and are close to the town of Toro, in the heart of the region.
