The regions of Toro and Rueda in Castile and Leon, which are located in the immediate vicinity, could hardly be more different: What both regions have in common is that they are located on the highlands of Castile, at an altitude of about 750 to 800 metres, with similarly barren soil structures and a comparably harsh, continental climate. Moreover, both regions are very traditional areas whose wines were drunk as early as the Middle Ages. After the phylloxera disaster, they then developed in different directions.
Toro is today a classic red wine region with about 6,000 hectares of vineyards, dominated by the grape variety Tinta de Toro, a local variety of Tempranillo. Due to the exposed location, the wines have a high alcohol content and are deep in colour, warm and full-bodied. In the meantime, one also encounters very well-made modern style wines - the area definitely has a future.
