Sangre de Toro Reserva DO 2015 - Miguel Torres

A Reserva of unmistakable personality - the Sangre de Toro from Miguel Torres. This wonderful red wine cuvée is made from the Garnacha Tinta (60%), Carinena (25%) and Syrah (15%) grape varieties.

In the glass this Spanish red wine delights with a deep, dark shining purple red with garnet highlights. The bouquet reveals strong aromas of juicy, dark forest berries and ripe black cherries with hints of toasted and spicy notes - especially vanilla, clove and freshly ground black pepper. On the palate this Spanish red wine is wonderfully powerful, juicy and warm. The fruit is perfectly balanced with the silky tannins. The elegant finish convinces with a wonderful length and fruity spicy aromas.

Vinification of the Sangre de Toro from Miguel Torres

The harvested grapes are macerated for two weeks. The must is then fermented in stainless steel tanks at 30 °C for 7-15 days at a controlled temperature. This red wine matures for about one year in wooden barrels made of 80% European oak and 20% new wood. This wine is bottled in April and is only released to the market after a short rest period.
