QUIETUD
BY NATURE
D.O. TORO, SPAIN • NATURAL 2022
"Wine in its purest state: a radical and honest interpretation of Tinta de Toro. Made without added sulfites, it captures the vibrant essence of the organic vineyard."
The Rebellion of Tinta de Toro
Quietud By Nature is a commitment to oenological nakedness. It comes from old vineyards under organic cultivation, where human intervention is reduced to a minimum so that the landscape of Toro speaks for itself. With no added sulfites or commercial yeasts, this wine is an explosion of mineral and fruity energy, representing the wilder and more elegant side of Quinta de la Quietud.

2. Sommelier's Notes
Appearance: Deep, almost opaque purple color, with a lively brilliance that denotes its lack of aggressive filtration. Persistent tears that slightly stain the glass.
Nose: Frank and wild aromatics. A cornucopia of black fruit (blackberry, blueberry) followed by fresh fig, black licorice, and that mineral note of clay and river stone typical of the Toro terroir.
Palate: Juicy and electric entry. Unlike conventional Toros, here freshness is the backbone. Present tannins but with a silky feel and a long finish that evokes the purity of freshly harvested grapes.
