Toro
Toro is a region that doesn’t hold back. Set on the sunbaked plains of Castilla y León, this is Tempranillo (or Tinta de Toro, as the locals call it) at its most intense—bold, structured, and packed with dark fruit and spice. With ancient bush vines, minimal rainfall, and scorching summers, the wines here are naturally concentrated, offering deep flavours, firm tannins, and a distinctive rustic charm.
Often compared to its famous neighbour, Ribera del Duero, Toro is the untamed, bolder sibling—less polished, more raw power. But make no mistake, the best wines from this region balance their intensity with freshness and elegance, proving why Toro has been making waves on the global stage.
If you love rich, full-bodied reds with character, Toro is a region you need to explore.
