Description

Alabaster is one of the great icons of the Toro region. It is made from over a century-old, ungrafted Tinta de Toro vines, which are carefully destemmed by hand and fermented in open-bottomed wooden barrels. After 18 months of aging in French oak, it reveals itself intensely and complexly – with notes of dark fruits, exotic spices, and licorice. A juicy, powerful, yet elegant Toro with exceptional depth and texture.
