Details
Produced by Teso La Monja winery, Victorino is a Spanish red wine crafted by the prestigious Eguren family, known for their excellent job at wineries such as Sierra Cantabria, Señorío de San Vicente and Viñedos de Páganos.
A remarkable single varietal Tinta de Toro, it is made from estate-owned vineyards 45 to 100 years of age, planted in clayey soils with a sandy substratum.
First, the grapes of this red wine from Toro underwent a manual harvest and an exacting selection process. Then they were destemmed and gently crushed before being fermented with gentle pump-overs. After that, they were macerated for 21 days on lees.
Then Victorino 2016 from Toro completed malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels and was aged for 18 months. During the process, the wine was racked every 4 months.
Drink until 2029.
Decant a minimum of 1 hour before drinking.

victory review by Last frontier on 2/21/2019Monumenthal but, for the time being, a bit monolithic. It begins to deliver after 4 o 5 hours inside the decanter, but even then it feels muted and compressed. A wine to store for years, undoubtedly.

Victorino review by Seth on 10/11/2017
Now, this is a serious wine. Bold, but quite transparent, showing a direct link to the land. Lush, smooth blueberries, violets, spices and herbs. I think it will reach its peak in 4-5 years.
