Wine Producers

Thanks to the emergence of modern icons like Numanthia, which offers a rarely-seen combination of power and elegance, ‘Spain has become the most dynamic wine region in Europe’ says Wine Spectator. Numanthia’s style relies on a selection of un-grafted, unirrigated 70 – 120-year-old vines of Tinta de Toro (a clone of Tempranillo). Tinta de Toro yields great fruit concentration, intensity and structure – a more powerful and opulent style of wine compared to traditional Rioja. Upon its inception in 1998, Robert Parker wrote: ‘This sensational new offering will prove to be the breakthrough effort for the Toro appellation.’ In the late 2000s, Neal Martin wrote: ‘This wine should be at the top of any Toro-lovers’ list.’
