Vatan Tinta de Toro 2014

The grapes for Vatan come from a vineyard planted in 1943, with some grapes within this vineyard that were planted in 1910.

The soils are very sandy, intermixed with alluvial gravel. Six to nine feet below the surface, there is a red clay subsoil, which acts as a reservoir of moisture, which is crucial in this arid region.

After fermentation in stainless steel, it is transferred to new French oak barrels where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged for 22 months.
