Details
Vetus 2022
The best-known Spanish red wine from Bodega Vetus, the wine Vetus is born in the heart of DO Toro.
The 2022 vintage of this red wine from Toro is made from Tinta de Toro grapes sourced from 65-year-old vines grown in sandy soils and situated near Villabuena del Puente (Zamora), at 700 metres above sea level.
Harvested by hand, after a meticulous selection the grape bunches were destemmed, gently crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks.
After that, the wine Vetus 2022 went through malolactic fermentation in the tanks and was aged for 12 months in new French oak barrels. The wine was not clarified before being bottled.
Decant this Crianza red wine 30 minutes before drinking.
8,533 bottles produced.
| Appearance | The red wine Vetus is medium purple with a garnet rim and some violet tinges. |
|---|---|
| Nose | The nose of this varietal Tinta de Toro brings aromas of blueberries, damascena cherries and blackcurrants over a vegetal and herbal background. There are some overtones of liquorice, coffee, toast, balsam, leather and aniseed. |
| Palate | Pleasant and well-structured, this wine of Bodegas Vetus is ripe, hedonistic and fresh, with plush tannins and a crisp acidity. Long finish with an aftertaste of liquorice, red berries, coffee and liquorice. |
| Our personal opinion | A modern style Toro, the wine Vetus 2022 delivers sheer drinking pleasure. |
