Bodegas Pintia Toro Red 2020 (1.5L) VivinoExclude

Bodegas Pintia Toro Red 2020 (1.5L) VivinoExcludePintia is a generous expression of Tempranillo grown in a hot, dry climate. The 2018 is a slightly cooler vintage, and four years on the cork (bottled in June of 2019) has led to exceptionally creamy tannins with no shortage of fruit. Sourced from deceptively high vineyards (700m) with an average vine age of 34 years, Pintia continues to prove that high alcohol wines can, also, achieve balance. At 15% alcohol, it pulls out all the things we love about

Character with red fruit gratin and undergrowth

this Cab is an excellent match for barbequed ribs and other grilled foods

There's grip for sure and a twinge of warm cast iron on the finish

Gosset Celebris is first and foremost a great wine in its own rights

It has some toastiness

just the right acidity

straw-yellow wine is fresh and dry

The wine is amazingly complex

blackcurrants and black licorice

chalk and oyster shell

and Zenith

violets and dark fruits linger on the long finish
