The style of production in Toro is traditional, with most wineries using old-fashioned techniques such as foot treading and aging the wine in oak barrels. The hot and dry climate of the region, combined with the poor soils, results in low yields and concentrated grapes, which in turn produce wines with high alcohol content and intense flavors.
The wines of Toro are known for their deep ruby color, powerful aromas of black fruit, spices, and leather, and firm tannins. They are full-bodied and complex, with a long and persistent finish. The best wines from Toro can age for decades, developing even more complexity and elegance over time.
Some of the top producers in Toro include Bodegas Numanthia, which produces the iconic Termanthia wine, a powerful and concentrated wine that has received numerous accolades from wine critics around the world. Other notable producers include Bodegas Maurodos, Bodegas Teso La Monja, and Bodegas San Roman.
