Ecológico
A varietal Tinta de Toro, the red wine Dominio del Bendito Las Sabias is produced from ungrafted vines 45 to 80 years of age. Certified organic, they are planted in sandy soils in Pago de la Jara, a Cru vineyard located near Toro, the wine capital of DO Toro.
Meticulously harvested, the grapes were selected on site and on arriving at the facilities of bodega Dominio del Bendito, the project of French winemaker Antony Terryn.
Alcoholic fermentation was carried out in epoxy-lined concrete diposits in an extremely gentle manner. Given that the Tinta de Toro variety has a high natural concentration of phenolic compounds, the aim was not to extract too much tannin and colour from the grapes.
After that, this Spanish red wine was transferred into French oak barrels, where it was aged for 14 months. Finally, the wine Dominio del Bendito Las Sabias 2023 was bottled unfined.
We suggest that you decant this Crianza red wine at least 1 hour before drinking.
Pair this red wine from Toro with hearty meat recipes.
