Description
Toro, Spain
This gem from the Eguren family is 100% Tinta de Toro from estate vineyards in DO Toro, with vines between roughly 15 and 65 years old. The grapes are hand-harvested, traditionally fermented and aged for around 14 months in French oak (about 30% new).
Tasting Notes: Bold and expressive, the 2023 Almiréz is packed with ripe blackberry and dark plum, layered with liquorice, sweet spice and a touch of smoky oak. The palate is powerful yet controlled, with dense fruit, firm but well-shaped tannins and a long, savoury finish.
Food serving suggestions: Decant and serve at 16–18°C with grilled lamb chops, ribeye steak or slow-braised beef.
