Information

Toro is a red wine from the Toro region in Spain, known for its deep ruby color and robust, full-bodied taste. This wine has a rich aroma of dark fruit, such as blackberry and plum, with hints of spice and oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm tannins and flavors of ripe berries, black pepper, and a long, smooth finish. Toro pairs perfectly with grilled meats, game, and hearty stews. Its bold, complex nature makes it a versatile wine that complements both casual and elegant dining experiences.

Fun facts

Toro wines are renowned for their high natural alcohol levels, often reaching 15% or more. This is due to the region’s hot, dry climate, which leads to highly concentrated sugars in the grapes while retaining balanced acidity.
