Details
Termanthia 2015
The iconic wine Termanthia is made from Tinta de Toro grapes sourced from ungrafted pre-phylloxera vines 120 years of age, planted at an average altitude of 700 metre above sea level, in the heart of DO Toro.
This iconic Spanish red wine produced by the Numanthia winery was vinified with the utmost care. After a meticulous harvest, the grapes were crushed by foot, fermented in truncated cone-shaped French oak barrels of different sizes and macerated with the skins for at least 1 month.
After that, this red wine from Toro underwent malolactic fermentation in 80% new French oak barrels.
Then the red wine Termanthia 2015 was transferred into new French oak barrels and aged for 22 months.
This Reserva red wine was bottled unfiltered in June 2017 and kept in the cellar for 60 months before its commercial release.
Decant this wine made from pre-phylloxera vines minimum of 4 hours before drinking.
| Appearance | The red wine Termanthia has a high, extremely dark cherry-coloured robe with some blackish nuances. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Impressively rich, this Tinta de Toro suggests lively forest berries with a myriad of spicy suggestions, elegant wooden notions and delicate notes of rose petals and lavender, underscored by an imposing, but nonetheless restrained minerality. |
| Palate | This red wine from Toro of Bodega Numanthia is bold, but less massive than iin previous vintages. Acidity is nothing short of exceptional, as well as them tannins and the overall structure. Layered, balanced and amazingly long, with a resounding mineral aftertaste. |
| Our personal opinion | The wine Termanthia 2015 is a one-of-a-kind. |
