Quinta El Refugio Red Wine Special Crianza

2013 Toro Tinta de Toro

Quinta El Refugio Red Wine Special Crianza, crafted from the Tinta de Toro varietal, embodies the essence of the Toro region with its deep, garnet red hue that hints at its bold character. This wine offers a full-bodied experience, enveloping the palate in lush layers of dark fruit flavors, complemented by notes of vanilla and subtle spice from its careful aging in oak. With a high acidity that adds brightness and a sense of freshness, it creates a delightful balance with the wine’s firm tannins, lending a structured quality that enhances its aging potential. The dryness of this Crianza is well-integrated, allowing the rich fruit intensity to shine through, making it a captivating choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own. Overall, this wine is a wonderful representation of Toro’s winemaking heritage, showcasing sophistication and depth in every sip.

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. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
