The Strength of Zamora's Terroir

Viticulture in Toro is an ode to resilience and authenticity. Certified by the Regulatory Council of D.O. Toro, the region is defined by an extreme continental climate and sandy soils that allowed many vines to survive the phylloxera plague. This unique environment forces the plants to root deep into the soil, resulting in wines of anthological tannic concentration that define the identity of Castile and León.
