Product Description
Details
The entry-level Spanish red wine of Bodega Vetus, Flor de Vetus is made from 20-year-old estate vineyards with sandy-limestone soils located at an altitude of 700 metres, in the heart of DO Toro.
A varietal Tinta de Toro, once in the cellar the grapes were destemmed, gently crushed and cold-macerated. Both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks.
Finally, Flor de Vetus 2019 was aged in 1st and 2nd year, 50/50 American and French oak barrels for over a period of 9 months.
Since this red wine from Toro may present some sediment, because it was neither clarified nor stabilized, we suggest that you aerate it 30 minutes before drinking.
