Quinta de la Quietud

The oenologist of «Quinta de la Quietud» previously worked in Bordeaux, among others at the world-famous Châteaus Haut-Brion and Cheval Blanc. As a native Frenchman, Jean-Francois Hébrard belongs to an unusual species in central Spain. He learned his knowledge of red wine production and the skilful use of oak barrels from the best winemakers in Bordeaux. In Toro, Spain, the combination of ancient vines, hot dry climate and the barren, chalky soils is inspiring.

Great silence in the Toro

Quinta de la Quietud is located in Toro, just two kilometres south of the left bank of the Duero. The vines of the Quinta grow at an altitude between 665 and 700 metres. On 22 hectares, the quinta cultivates almost only one grape variety - Tinta de Toro. In addition, an unusual sweet wine is produced from Malvasia. The wine is matured in small oak barrels of French and American origin with long maceration periods.
