Notes on the Wine
This is one of the most intense, pure and bright Tempranillo wines you'll ever taste. Fresh black and blue fruit aromas are lifted and sharpened by a peppery note and a suggestion of smoky minerals. It is vibrant and focused on the palate, offering intense boysenberry and cassis flavors that put on weight with aeration. Torremorón is seamless and expressive, with no rough edges and a long, gently tannic finish.
Notes on the Producer
Torremorón, made in the small town of Quintanamanvirgo, is a great example of an artisanal, handcrafted wine. Just west of the villages of Anguix and La Horra and north of Pedrosa de Duero and Roa, Quintanamanvirgo is well situated in the north central area of Ribera. Many of Ribera’s top bodegas farm vineyards here in the alluvial, sandy and clay-heavy soils in vineyard sites that are optimally located at altitude.
The town of Quintanamanvirgo has two businesses: the bar and the winery. If you ever want to experience and taste the authentic personality of Ribera del Duero, head directly for this town and ask for Fernando de la Cal. When you meet him, ask him to show you his vineyards and his family cave where wine was made in the 18
