Winemaking process:
Tinta de Toro grown near the Guareña river, a tributary of the Duero, in the Toro appellation, then aged in French oak. Viñaguareña farms around 22 hectares of its own vines. Toro's sandy soils kept phylloxera at bay, so the region still has many old vines growing on their own ungrafted roots.
Interesting notes:
Tinta de Toro is Tempranillo’s local adaptation to Toro’s dry, extreme climate. Its typically small, thick-skinned berries produce deeply coloured, concentrated and structured wines.
Vinoteka's note
Munia is made by Bodega ViñaGuareña, an 80-hectare estate beside the Guareña river near Toro created in 1999 by a group of wine-loving investors; the winery thins up to half its crop to concentrate the fruit. Carácter is pure Tinta de Toro aged fourteen to sixteen months in medium-toast French oak. Deep cherry red, clean and fragrant, with macerated elderberry, scrubland herbs, cinnamon, clove, coffee and toasted nuts over ripe blackberry; lively, juicy and velvety with polished tannins and a long finish of vanilla and cinnamon. The producer serves it at 14–16 °C with stewed or roast red meats, game, hard cheeses, pasta with bold sauces or mushrooms.
