Product Description
Details
Produced by Bodegas Ordóñez, this varietal Spanish red wine comes from DO Toro.
The red wine Tritón Tinta de Toro is made from ungrafted Tinta de Toro vines planted in 1962 in sandy and red clay soils.
Located at an altitude of 800 metres above sea level, in order to survive the plants have to endure tough conditions: heavy winds, little rain and great differences of temperature between daytime and nighttime. Thus, yields are extremely low.
Harvested manually and selected at the vineyard, the grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks and then transferred into French oak barrels (70% Burgundy and 30% Bordeaux). There, Tritón Tinta de Toro 2021 was aged for 12 months after the completion of malolactic fermentation.
Aerate this Crianza red wine 30 minutes before drinking.

Triton
Bold, but not overcooked. Very expressive, and with that depth typical Spanish wines.

Not for the faint-hearted. If you're a Californian or Aussie-style wine nut, try this one. I loved it
