Vintage Description:

This Toro wine is the flagship of Teso La Monja. Dark and intoxicating, voluptuous and baroque, spicy and complex, but then again delicate and flowery, full of freshness and liveliness. Sip by sip, a new, magical revelation. One of the greatest wines in the region - a personality full of character dressed in velvet and silk.
Details zur Herkunft:

Ohne Chemie:

Diese Form der Landwirtschaft setzt auf den Anbau von Pflanzen im Einklang mit natürlichen Kreisläufen und den langfristigen Erhalt der Bodenfruchtbarkeit. Im Weinbau bedeutet dies den Einsatz vielfältiger Anbaumethoden, natürlicher Düngemittel sowie den weitgehenden Verzicht auf chemisch-synthetische Pflanzenschutz- und Düngemittel. Viele Winzer arbeiten nach diesen Grundsätzen, ohne eine offizielle Zertifizierung zu besitzen, und bewirtschaften ihre Weinberge dennoch nachhaltig sowie ressourcenschonend.
