San Roman Tinto 2021 75cl

100% Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo).

The Wine Advocate I Jun 13, 2024 I Luis Gutiérrez
The very classical 2021 San Román showcases the house style of ripe, concentrated and generously oaked reds made from Tempranillo (or Tinta de Toro) grapes but with the balance and poise to develop and integrate the oak with time in bottle. Furthermore, 2021 was a great vintage in the zone for them—cooler, with adequate rain and excellent balance between acidity, alcohol (14.5%) and structure. It matured in French oak barrels of different sizes and aged for 24 months. It has notes of black fruit, hints of graphite, licorice and ink and a medium to full-bodied palate with very fine, elegant and polished tannins. 120,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2023.

There are no great changes in the Toro project from the García family of Mauro, only new vintages of their wines. They have 130 hectares of vineyards that are worked organically with biodynamic practices. Production is 290,000 bottles.
