Acontia

2009 Toro 100% Tempranillo

The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure and depth that enhance the wine's overall character. This delightful expression of Tempranillo is dry, making it an excellent companion to hearty dishes or a perfect choice for an evening of relaxed enjoyment.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines.
