About Toro DO

Where it grows

Along the Duero around Toro in Zamora province, extending into neighbouring Valladolid.

Tinta de Toro is the local expression of Tempranillo, rather than a separate international grape. Warm, dry summers and vineyard soils that include sand, stones and clay support reds ranging from fruit-led to deeply structured. Garnacha provides another red route, while whites and rosados broaden the appellation. An old-vine label describes the vines, not a guarantee that every bottle is heavy or heavily oaked.
