Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does the Spanish oak bring to this wine?
Spanish oak is rare and highly valued; it provides deeper spicy notes and a structure that complements the natural power of the Tinta de Toro grape, distinguishing it from traditional reservas.
Why is it called a "glyceric" wine?
It refers to its high quality and body. When swirling the glass, "tears" or "legs" are observed descending slowly, which translates into a sensation of unctuosity, smoothness, and volume on the palate.
