Termes
The Toro Signature
The Termes grapes are selected for their intense, vibrant, and lively fruit expression, characteristics of the perfect
adaptation of the Tinta de Toro variety. The wine reveals classy and lively aromas and rich and complex flavors with
abundant fruity notes integrated with hints of cedar and toasty characters.
Tasting Notes
Fresh, fruity notes (black fruits, raspberry, dark and sherry), nicely integrated with spices, tobacco, and toasted aromas
(vanilla, chocolate and cinnamon). Silky texture, concentrated, well structured and very elegant. The finish is long
and complex.
Vinification
Fermentation: Traditional method; the grapes are 100% destemmed. Extended maceration on skins for 21 days with
gentle pump-overs. Aging in French oak barrels for 14 months (20% new and 80% one year old). Racked every
four months.

Suckling lamb, cold-cut meats, blue cheeses
