Details
The Elías Mora winery is based in the DO Toro, a region that possesses a real treasure trove of ungrafted, prephylloxeric vineyards. Precisely, Viñas Elías Mora is made from some of those ancient vines.
A single varietal Tinta de Toro, the grapes were harvested by hand, destemmed, and cold-soaked. Then this red wine from Toro was fermented in stainless steel tanks.
After that, this Spanish red wine was drawn off and transferred into American oak barrels, where it was aged for 6 months.
Finally, Viñas Elías Mora 2017 from Toro was filtered and clarified with egg whites prior to its bottling.

oLÉ review by My my on 10/25/2017My kind of Toro!! Dark, intense, spicy, ripe tannins and a very curious remembrance of violets that I found in many Toro reds.
