Silbón Toro 2021Sold out

Wine tasting:

Vivid violet shades, well managed. Mature, good aging in wood, marked tertiary aromas for very pleasant notes. Fatty, powerful but not too much, black fruits… supple palate and good acidity. Complex wine to match its Sofros siblings.

Winery:

We continue to develop in rented facilities, where we have our deposits, barrels and everything that is necessary to continue to maintain a craftsmanship and to be respectful with the grape and with the wine, trying to emulate our ancestors.

Viticulture:

This wine is made from Tinta de Toro grape from different vineyards aged 31 to 48. Soils have been selected in order to nurture its Toro character in keeping with fruits and alcohol content. Chalky, loamy-sandy soils, exploring exposure and orientation. From Venialbo to Toro, through Morales and La Boveda. A warm winter that gave way to a dry summer. Very good grape quality with a very pronounced average decrease in yield, initially due to the Filomena storm (in spring) that caused frost and some hail, and later due to the rains and some hailstorms in late August and early September. Even so, these conditions helped to increase the quality of the grape and yielded an optimal ripeness.
