Bodega Palacio de Los Frontaura Y Victoria is a family-owned winery located in the town of Villabuena del Puente, in the D.O. Toro in Spain. The estate specializes in Tinta de Toro, the native variety Tempranillo. They also have vineyards in Ribera del Duero. The wines are big and bold blending the tradition of the region with modern wine making techniques. This Saturday we’ll be pouring some of these full bodied wines. Lucia Ramos Pérez from the winery will be on hand to tell us more about them. Come give them a try.
2010 Vega Murillo, Toro Verdejo $12
Different sweet notes of ripe fruit can be distinguished of good intensity. More intense and complex notes appear which are identified with touches of papaya, cherimoya and quince pulp, lightly floral (roses). In the background, golden apple and pear. On the palate is dry but with great softness in the mouth. The finish is round and full-bodied.
2010 Vega Murillo, Tinto, Toro Tempranillo $12
Cherry and berry flavors are sweetened with notes of vanilla in this fresh, soft red. Light leaf and licorice flavors add interest, and crisp acidity keeps it all lively.
2010 Nexus Cosecha, Ribera del Duero Tempranillo $20
In appearance this wine is cherry red in color with medium high robe. On the nose the aromas are very intense, predominating aromatic qualities of balsamic and fruity notes with hints of menthol. On the palate is balanced, long and intense with pleasant and refine tannins which lend complexity to the wine. A fresh, intense and well-structured wine.
2007 Dominio de Valdelacasa, Toro Tempranillo $20
Intense red in color, attractive on the nose, it displays aromas of compoted fruits, fresh almonds, white flowers with mineral graphite notes. Fresh, expressive and harmonic on the palate, this wine reveals a perfectly mature and attuned tannin that reminds us of red fruits and licorice with the subtle coconut of its sojourn in the barrels.
