Pagos del Rey ‘El Pillo’ Roble Tempranillo 2023

Brimming with tradition, Toro D.O. is an exciting wine region nestled in the heart of Castile and León, in the northern Spanish province of Zamora. This D.O.  is next door to Rueda’s territory, and not far from Ribera del Duero and Rioja’s. It is one of Spain’s best kept secrets. Its wines  inherit  a long history, dating back to Roman settlements. In the middle ages, the wines enjoyed Royal privileges that allowed them to be exclusively sold in towns and cities. Even Christopher Columbus is said to have taken the wines of Toro on his expeditions to America. Toro qualified for the Denominación de Origen status in 1987. With its ancient vines, it is certainly one of Spain´s most promising regions for the production of red wines of impressive quality.

Grapes specially selected to get the most out of the short aging process in American oak barrels. The wine goes through a cold maceration and a controlled fermentation at 24-26ºC. The later malolactic fermentation provides maximum aromatic potential, with notes of vanilla and fruit. The wine rests for 3 months in American oak barrels.
