Numanthia Toro DO

Toro DO, Spain

Flagship wine from old-vine Tinta de Toro (80+ years, ungrafted) on sandy soils at 700m. Dense, powerful, and structured with black cherry, blackberry, tobacco, leather, and dark chocolate. 18 months in new French oak. Exceptional ageing potential — best opened 10+ years after vintage.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Classic regional pairing; Toro's power and tannin structure match the crispy pork while oak integrates with the fat
• main: Old-vine Tinta de Toro's intensity matches Ibérico pork's pronounced flavour; acidity from chimichurri lifts both
• cheese: Toro's dense fruit and oak complement aged sheep's cheese; quince bridges fruit character across both
