2016 Bodega Numanthia Termanthia DO Toro
Termanthia is the iconic flagship of Bodega Numanthia in Toro, north-western Spain - now part of LVMH. Made from 100% Tinta de Toro from the legendary Teso de los Carriles vineyard, where some pre-phylloxera vines are over 140 years old, it is a benchmark expression of old-vine Tinta de Toro - intense, deep and refined.
Grape variety: 100% Tinta de Toro (the local biotype of Tempranillo).
Terroir: The Teso de los Carriles vineyard in Toro, on sandy, rocky soils at altitude. Some pre-phylloxera vines are over 140 years old, ungrafted and dry-farmed.
Harvest: Hand-harvested in small crates, with rigorous selection. Whole-berry fermentation in small open-top oak vats.
Ageing: Aged for around 18-22 months in 100% new French oak barrels, with regular bâtonnage of the lees.
COLOUR: Inky purple.
NOSE: Powerful, complex nose of black cherry, blackberry, dark chocolate, leather, smoke and exotic spice.
PALATE: Full-bodied and concentrated, with velvety tannins, layered fruit and a remarkable, persistent finish.
FOOD PAIRING: Pair with grilled lamb, slow-cooked beef, game and aged Manchego. Serve at 16-18°C.
