"The 2018 Tinta De Toro Triton is 100% Tempranillo (Tinta de Toro) and offers a deeper ruby/plum color as well as textbook Tempranillo notes of ripe red and black fruits, peppery herbs, spicy wood, and hints of sandalwood. It's ripe, medium to full-bodied, has a juicy, fruit-forward style, and a good finish. Drink this impeccably made red over the coming 5-7 years. Best After 2022."
Winemaker Notes:
"Triton is made with the Tinta de Toro grape, one of Spain’s oldest Tempranillo clones that is native to the Toro wine region. The continental steppe climate combines with the sandy soil to create a terroir that is responsible for a powerful, elegant, and mineral expression of Tinta de Toro. As all of Grupo Jorge Ordóñez’s vineyards, the plots are head-trained and dry-farmed, without the use of herbicides, pesticides, or fungicides."
