If you are a fan of San Roman Toro, then you are aware of the quality and consistency that this producer brings vintage after vintage! San Roman is one of the hottest producers from the Toro region of Castilla y Leon in the Northwest of Spain; and is the epitome of value!

It comes from an estate that is considered one of the best in all of Spain, and with each release, they go from strength to strength with smart and meticulous moves in both the vineyards and in the cellar.

As the region’s name might suggest (Toro meaning bull in Spanish) the wines are generally exceedingly powerful with robust fruit, and rustic herb and spice notes.

100% Tempranillo from ungrafted vines between 60-100 years old. It’s big and lush, with a wealth of fruit that leads to a very complex and not over the top offering. The finish is 60+ seconds with ease. It is, 100% absolutely delicious now or you can put in your cellar to age.

“The 2018 San Román was produced with Tinta de Toro grapes from a cool and wet year that delivered a healthy crop. The grapes are from different organically farmed vineyards in the villages of Morales de Toro, Pedrosa del Rey and San Román de Hornija and were vinified by plot in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts. It matured in a combination of French and American oak barrels for 24 months. This is very young, and compared with the polished 2017, it feels raw. But 2018 has to be one of the finest vintages here; the oak is quite dominant and tannic, but the freshness and balance will make it develop beautifully in bottle. It has ripeness and black fruit and is spicy, with a touch of licorice and ink. This wine has a lot of everything! It’s one of the years with more acidity since they started here in 1997. 112,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2021. 2023-2030.”
