Bodega Teso la Monja Victorino 2019

Spain / Castilla Leon / Toro

The vines on the small Victorino vineyard are between 45 and 100 years old. Because of the sandy soil, they were not destroyed by the phylloxera plague - a rarity in Spain. During the harvest, the grapes are picked by hand and meticulously selected again in the winery. Then they are gently pressed with the feet in the traditional way, so as not to damage the kernels. In this way, no bitter substances get into the wine and the tannins become silky soft. With this effort, the Eguren family, the owners of Bodega Teso la Monja, are well on the way to becoming one of the icons of Spanish viticulture with their wines.
