Product Description
Details
Coming from DO Toro, the wine Celsus is the top-shelf product of Bodegas Vetus, a brand of Grupo Artevins.
This varietal Spanish red wine is made from Tinta de Toro over 100-year-old vines sourced entirely from Finca Camparrón, a 0.8-hectare vineyard composed of sandy loam soils and located at an altitude of 700 metres above sea level.
Harvested by hand, the grapes were carefully destemmed and fermented in 3,000-litre stainless steel tanks. After that, this Crianza red wine was transferred into new French oak barrels from Darnajou.
There, the wine Celsus 2021 completed malolactic fermentation and was aged for a period of 12 months. It was neither filtered nor clarified before being bottled.
Pair this red wine from Toro with hearty meat recipes.
Decant at least 30 minutes before drinking.
Around 2,000 bottles produced.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Celsus is deep purple with a garnet rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This is an impressive Tinta de Toro red wine. Notes of blueberries and mulberries, along with notions of cedar, cardamom, coffee, chocolate, undergrowth and violets over a mineral and earthy background. Impressively complex. |
| Palate | Meaty and unctuous, but showing a distinctive freshness. This wine from Bodega Vetus carries some tightly packed fruit will take some time to loosen up. Nevertheless, there is already a real sense of place and an excellent definition. Slightly dry tannins, rock-solid acidity and a long, very persistent finish with notes of cocoa, spices, flowers and ripe black fruit, nuanced by some earthy overtones. |
| Our personal opinion | Elegant, age-worthy and powerful, the wine Celsus 2021 will pair excellently with game dishes. |

Celsus 2019 5*
This Celsus 2019 is very nice tasting indeed. It's smooth with very mild tannins. To be on the safe side I decanted it for 30 min's to an hour. We drank it with 4 people and we all liked it very much! It reminds me of the San Román 2019 Toro, and that's not bad at all...
