Bodegas Orot Toro Roble 2019  £11.87

OROT Toro Roble 

The origins of Orot date back to 1980, although it was in 1997, envisioning the development and possibilities of the Toro  D.O., when they decided to build a winery of their own in the town of Toro, in the heart of the Appellation.

The  two-floor building, one of which is buried underground, boasts an excellent crianza room maintained naturally at optimal temperature and humidity conditions, favouring the aging of their wines.

Orot has 20 hectares of their own vineyards with the Tinta de Toro variety, which is more than 15 years old. Located southeast of the province of Zamora, it is situated at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level.

The Orot Roble displays hues of cherry red and was aged for six months in American and French oak casks.

On the nose it offers intense ripe black fruit aromas (blackberry and blueberry) and black liquorice against a backdrop of gentle toasted notes; spicy and balsamic with hints of vanilla and cocoa coming through.

A fresh and balanced palate with plenty of black fruit. Spicy and balsamic hints. Structured with a good length of flavour.

Pairs well with Sirloin cuts and grilled beef, lamb, stews, roasts, game dishes, Rice dishes and charcuterie.

Serve at 12-14°C
