Interesting facts
"Numanthia" is a red dry wine made from Tinta de Toro grapes from the best terroir of the Toro region. The grapes are harvested from low-yielding vines aged 50 and over 100 years. The vineyards, with sandy-limestone soils located at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level, are cultivated according to sustainable farming principles; artificial irrigation is not used. Harvesting begins in the first days of October. The harvest is conducted exclusively by hand with careful sorting first in the vineyard and then at the winery: only healthy fruits of optimal ripeness are allowed into production. The grapes, destemmed, undergo a 4-day cold maceration, followed by 7 days of alcoholic fermentation. After fermentation, the wine remains on the skins for some time at a controlled temperature of 28-29 °C. Malolactic fermentation occurs in steel tanks. The wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, with samples taken every 4 months. The 2013 vintage was bottled in June 2015.
About the Manufacturer
The Numanthia winery, founded in 1998, is located in Valdefinjas (Castile and León), in the northwest of Spain. It is a true emblem of winemaking in the Toro region. The winery is named after the fearless Spanish warriors from the city of Numantia, whose inhabitants heroically resisted the Roman army for 20 years in 134 BC and ultimately chose to sacrifice their lives rather than surrender. The resilience characteristic of the warriors is also found in Toro wines, a region with a long tradition of winemaking and viticulture. The region's vineyards were planted by pioneering families centuries ago, back in Roman times, and since then they have demonstrated resilience, avoiding the phylloxera plague of the 19th century and enduring the extreme climatic conditions typical of the region. In the Middle Ages, Toro wines were the first in the world to be sent to America on Christopher Columbus's ships in 1492. The Numanthia winery was the first estate to recognize the potential of the Toro region. The winery's work aims to showcase this outstanding Spanish terroir to the world and demonstrate the most beautiful expression of Tinta de Toro grapes.
