Numanthia TERMES DO Toro – An Elegant Expression of Spanish Tinta de Toro

TERMES Bodega Numanthia DO Toro 75cl is a distinctive Spanish red wine that showcases the rich winemaking heritage of the Toro appellation in Castilla y León.

Produced by Bodega Numanthia, TERMES combines the natural intensity of Tinta de Toro with careful winemaking and French oak maturation.

Toro is situated in northwestern Spain, close to the Duero River. Its vineyards experience a demanding continental climate, characterised by hot summers, cold winters and limited rainfall.

These conditions, combined with poor, well-drained soils, encourage the development of grapes with concentrated flavours and a distinctive aromatic identity.

Bodega Numanthia was established in 1998 and has become recognised for its commitment to preserving and expressing the character of Tinta de Toro, a local variety closely related to Tempranillo.

TERMES is made exclusively from this grape variety, sourced from mature vines generally between 30 and 50 years old.

The vineyards are located at relatively high elevations, contributing to the balance between fruit ripeness and freshness.

During winemaking, careful maceration allows the extraction of colour, aromas and tannins while maintaining the natural expression of the grapes.

The wine is subsequently matured in French oak barrels, which contribute additional aromatic complexity and help integrate its structure.

In the glass, TERMES displays an intense cherry-red colour with attractive ruby reflections.

The nose is generous and expressive, revealing aromas of blackberries, ripe cherries and plums, complemented by hints of cinnamon, pepper and subtle toasted oak.

On the palate, the wine offers a rich and concentrated fruit character supported by well-integrated tannins.

Despite its generous structure, refreshing acidity brings balance and contributes to a long, expressive finish.

TERMES demonstrates how the traditional power of Toro wines can be combined with freshness and approachability.

It is particularly well suited to grilled red meats, roasted lamb, game dishes, Iberian charcuterie and mature cheeses.

Serving the wine between 16 and 18°C allows its complex aromas and balanced texture to develop fully.

Depending on the vintage, a short period of aeration before serving may enhance the tasting experience.

Presented in a 75cl bottle, TERMES is an excellent introduction to the wines of Toro and an appealing choice for enthusiasts of powerful yet refined Spanish red wines.

A compelling expression of Tinta de Toro, combining regional authenticity, aromatic depth and the winemaking expertise of Bodega Numanthia.
