Triton Tinta de Toro is the pure representation of the oldest clone of Tempranillo in Spain, located in the only Spanish D.O. that completely resisted the phylloxera plague. During the Middle Ages, Toro was the Spain\u2019s most famous winemaking region. Mentioned in literature by Alfonso IX (King of Le\u00f3n, 12th c.), Juan Ruiz the Archpriest of Hita, Quevedo, Luis de G\u00f3ngora, and Miguel de Cervantes. In 14th Century Sevilla the sale of any foreign wine was prohibited, save the wines of Toro. These wines were also the wines that accompanied Spanish explorers to the New World. The wine is rich and fruity, characterized by smooth, integrated tannin, and a long, elegant finish. The product of extremely dark, sweet berries. D.O. Toro was rediscovered by the Numanthia project, masterminded by Jorge Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez and the Eguren family.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
