Silbón Toro 2018

Print datasheet

Wine tasting:

Intense red purple, ribbed by violets, brilliant. From forest fruits´aromas, to vanilla, chocolate…very complex. On the palate is very fresh, fruity and juicy, unctuous with wooden subtleties. Of persistent and nice remembrance. Mature sweet point. Due to its artisan process and tannic action, the wine can present precipitations with the step of the time in the bottle.

Winery:

We continue working in rented facilities, where we have our deposits, barrels and everything necessary to continue maintaining a craft and respectful production with the grape and wine, trying to emulate our ancestors.
