"Tamed power: the ultimate expression of Tinta de Toro in a profound, elegant, and timeless signature wine."
The Jewel of Toro
La Mula de la Quietud 2019 is a cult wine that represents the untamed strength of the Toro region brought to a supreme level of sophistication. Produced by the Quinta de la Quietud winery under organic farming principles, this wine is born from century-old ungrafted vines. Aged for 20 months in new French oak barrels, La Mula does not seek power for power's sake, but rather extreme complexity and a silky texture that defies the region's standards.
