Torres Sangre de Toro Tempranillo 2021 (Spain)

Description

• Blackberry & raspberry
• Subtle liquorice
• Luscious
• Fine & persistent

"A beautifully styled modern rendition, the fragrant bouquet shows Black Doris plum, violet, cracked pepper and almond notes. The succulent palate displays rounded mouthfeel and fine texture, finishing silky and flavoursome. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2022

Picota cherry colour, with purple glints. Intense nose of red and black fruits (blackberry and raspberry) with a subtle underlying liquorice note. Luscious, fine, and persistent on the palate.

Made from carefully selected vineyards, this iconic wine has stayed true to its incomparable personality since the first vintage in 1954. 

2021 was characterized by a rainy winter and a dry spring, and the ripening period was also very dry. It was a normal year in terms of temperatures, with a summer where few days were extremely hot, although there was the odd heatwave. The vintage was slightly earlier due to the heatwave, which sped up the harvest for the Tempranillo variety. Given the scarcity of rain during a large part of the year, the health status of the vineyard was good.

Food Pairing: Excellent with meat and tomato-sauce-based dishes. It is also a perfect match for creamy cheeses, pizza and pasta with red sauces. Serve at 14–15°C.
