"This is fabulously ripe and fragrant on the nose showing dark and purple fruit characters with clove, cured meat and violet aromas. The palate is equally satisfying with excellent concentration and silky texture, leading to a persistent juicy finish. Upfront and flavoursome, making it highly enjoyable" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2020
A vibrant Tempranillo wine brimming with blackberry and dark cherry aromas, supported by subtle nuances of aromatic oak. The palate is full bodied and rich with soft tannins and a long finish, best enjoyed at room temperature.
The grapes were hand-picked and de-stemmed into open top fermenters. Around 30% whole bunches were added back to the ferment. After a five day cold soak, the ferment was allowed to warm up and progress without the addition of cultured yeast. Once pressed, the young wine spent 10 months in new and used oak barrels. All barrels were blended and the wine bottled.
Toño (Ton Yo) is the familiar or nickname of Antonio in the Spanish language. Toño wines are a modern take on Spanish winemaking heritage, grown in the sunny Hawke’s Bay. Wines that are fun, delicious and reflect the Hawke’s Bay lifestyle.
Food Pairing: Cured or grilled meats.
