The Winery

Numanthia

As one of the breakthrough producers of the Toro region in northwest Spain, Numanthia is a producer well-known for their bottles made from Tempranillo. Named after the neighboring town of Numancia, this producer is credited to playing a key role in bringing the region into the international spotlight. The 130 year old vines are dispersed across numerous small plots on the hilly, dry soils along the banks of the cherished Duero River- near the Portuguese border. Numanthia is most well-known for its Termanthia wine which is made from a single 11-acre parcel of 120-year-old vines, and although the estate was originally founded in 1998, it has been owned by LVMH since 2008.

Tasting Notes

WA95
The 1998 Numanthia is an explosively rich, super-concentrated wine of riveting intensity. The color is a dense purple, and the wine has soaked up its 18 months in new French oak. It offers a smoky, blackberry and cherry-scented nose of extraordinary purity and precision. Full-bodied, enormously-endowed, and unctuously-textured, this monstrous wine displays tremendous potential. Because of its low acidity, it can be approached now, but it is best aged for another 2-3 years, and drunk over the following two decades. This compelling new offering proves what can be achieved in the appellation of Toro. Bravo!
