Corral de Campanas 2022

Wine Description for Corral de Campanas 2022 from Quinta de la Quietud

Colour & Appearance

Luminous purple-red with violet reflections that underscore the youthfulness of this Toro red wine. The intense colour depth already hints at the concentration waiting in the glass.

Nose

The bouquet presents itself with dark fruits – ripe blackberries and black cherries – underpinned by an earthy minerality that is typical of Tempranillo from the rugged Duero region. Subtle spice notes complement the aromatic profile without dominating. The nose feels refreshing and displays a lovely balance between fruit and terroir expression.

Palate

On the palate, Corral de Campanas reveals itself as a potent, meaty red wine with the characteristic density that distinguishes Toro wines. What is impressive is that despite all its power and dark fruit fullness, no overripeness is apparent – instead, the wine offers tension, structure and freshness. The ripe tannins are present but silky-smooth and perfectly integrated, the oak subtly woven in. A wine with substance that nonetheless retains elegance.

Finish

The finish is long and structured, with lingering dark fruit aromas and a fine mineral note that invites you to the next sip.

Terroir & Origin

From the D.O. Toro, a region along the Duero River, renowned for its extreme continental climate – hot summers, cold winters. These conditions shape the character of the wines and imbue them with concentration and expressive power.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Tinta de Toro, the local Tempranillo clone with small, thick-skinned berries. Organic viticulture, spontaneous fermentation and maturation partly in large wooden vats, partly in barriques (only 20% new wood). This restrained oak treatment allows the terroir character to take centre stage.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Perfect with grilled ribeye steak, roasted leg of lamb, wild boar stew or aged Manchego. The wine pairs well with robust, spicy flavours and harmonises beautifully with braised beef or Iberian pork.

Special Features

Outstanding value for money. A modern Toro that combines power with finesse and demonstrates that the region has more to offer than just muscular powerhouses.
