In Quietud By Nature 2022

Wine Description for In Quietud By Nature 2022 from Quinta de la Quietud

Colour & Appearance

Luminous purple-red with youthful intensity, underscoring the freshness of this unadorned natural wine.

Nose

Remarkably clear and expressive: blue and black fruits dominate with unvarnished directness. Behind this, a fine peppery note and a characteristic stony minerality that lends depth to the bouquet. Not a trace of overripeness – instead, balanced primary fruit with refreshing precision.

Palate

Here the successful balancing act reveals itself: despite 15% alcohol, the wine tastes remarkably fresh and juicy. The tannins are abundant, yet fine-grained and perfectly integrated. A meaty texture carries the wine with power across the palate without ever becoming heavy-handed. This is no over-extracted Toro colossus, but a wine with substance and elegance – powerful, yes, but with impressive balance.

Finish

Persistent and juicy, with lingering dark fruit aromas and a fine mineral tension.

Terroir & Origin

The DO Toro is renowned for extreme conditions: continental climate, intense sunshine and barren terrain. The 20-25 year-old vines thrive without irrigation and develop small berries with thick skins – the foundation for the characteristic concentration.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Tinta de Toro, the local Tempranillo clone, organically grown. Spontaneous fermentation in steel tank, ageing also in steel – no wood, no sulphur. This purist vinification allows the grape variety and terroir to speak unfiltered.

Food Pairing Suggestions

With grilled beef steak, lamb chops, wild boar ragout or aged Manchego. The wine’s power demands correspondingly spicy, meat-focused dishes.

Special Features

Vinified without sulphur addition – an authentic natural wine that proves Toro can be different: powerful, but not bombastic, concentrated, but not overloaded.
