- Easygoing and approachable
- Fresh and racy
- Lively, sharply focused with lingering sweetness
90 Points - "For an affordable taste of top-shelf Toro, this is where to start. Prima is the so-called second bottling from Maurodos, run by the lauded García family. It is easygoing and approachable, with handsome dark-fruit aromas backed by a smooth palate of black cherry, berry, chocolate and vanilla. Shows some creaminess on the finish, and very little of the heat and fire that can plague even the best wines from Toro. Drinkable now." - The Wine Enthusiast (more info)

"Deep ruby. Smoky cherry and blackberry aromas are complicated by minerals and fresh flowers. Fresh and racy, with pure red and dark fruit flavors, fine-grained tannins and good tangy lift. A lively, sharply focused wine with lovely lingering sweetness. Rated 90"
- Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar COMPOSITION: 90% Tinta de Toro, 10% Garnacha ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
Estate bottled. Unfiltered. The grapes for Prima are sourced from vines aged 5-25 years old from the villages of San Roman de Hornija, Villaster and Morales. The vineyards tend to be planted in sandy-clay soils as opposed to the stonier soils of fruit sourced for San Roman. Harvested by hand and selection of grapes in the vineyard. The wine is fermented in temperature controlled, conical, stainless steel tanks which allow for caps to naturally be broken very softly during pump overs. The wine was aged for 12 months in second and third fill French and American oak barrels, which had previously been used for the maturation of San Roman. Unfiltered. (close) |
