Numanthia Tinta De Toro – Toro

”the 2011 vintage was quite early in our region. The end of the 2010 autumn was very fresh humid and followed by an extremely cold winter with abundant snow falls during december. The spring was early warm and humid thus the bud burst started on the 30th of march quite early for the region as well as flowering which began by the 25th of may fifteen days earlier than usual. Spring storms happened increasing the water availability for the vine while decreasing the amount of berries in the grapes due to limited berry set. Veraison was achieved during the first week of august after a very dry and mild summer with very marked thermal amplitude that ended with high temperatures. Harvest started on the 16th of september and finished on the 5th of october.”- bodega numanthia
