The wine

Village wine from El Pego. A blend of three plots, one of which is a ‘young’ vineyard 35 years old and the other two old vineyards 93 and 89 years old. Seeking to recover the typical production techniques of the area, and moving away from the direction that the Toro designation of origin has taken in recent times, it ferments with stems for 15 days in stainless steel tanks and then moves to wooden foudres for 6-8 months.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

The wines from Toro are remarkably darker than the ones from Arribes, and the 2021 Tío Uco, a blend of 90% Tinta de Toro and 10% Garnacha, is even darker than the 2019 Aciano, the other red from Toro. It's juicy, tasty, ripe and fruit-driven, with the bright aromatics from the carbonic maceration (it fermented with 100% full clusters), 14.5% alcohol, a velvety texture, fine and round tannins and mellow acidity. This matured in foudre and barrique for four months, but there's no trace of oak. 20,000 bottles produced.
