A luscious fruit bomb

Enjoyed this wine with a chicken and sausage paella. It is hearty - a little bit fruity, but much less so than the Barberas. More of an alcohol content.

oro, in the western reaches of Spain, is one of several wine growing regions located in and influenced by the Duero Valley. Soils of brown limestone with sandy sediment and a long, dry growing season have produced intense, highly prized wines from the local grapes (mostly Tinto de Toro, a variant of Tempranillo) for several thousand years. Quinta de la Quietud expands and preserves this tradition by bringing modern organic farming and modern vinification techniques to their estate. The Corral de Campanas is 100% Tinto de Toro from extremely low-yield vines, half of which is aged in used barrique. Dried red fruit and a background of spice and earth highlight rich body and firm tannins. Excellent with roasted meats and game.
