Quinta Quietud Reserva 2019

Wine Description for Quinta Quietud Reserva 2019 by Quinta de la Quietud

Colour & Appearance

Dense, saturated cherry red with youthful luminosity – a visual promise of the concentration that characterises Toro wines.

Nose

Complex, multi-layered bouquet that demonstrates the successful balance of a true Reserva. Ripe dark fruits meet sweet spices, dark chocolate and roasted coffee. Subtle earthy notes lend depth. The primary, secondary and tertiary aromas are exemplarily integrated – precisely what one expects from two years of barrel ageing.

Palate

Here the true class of this Toro reveals itself: Full-bodied and structured, yet never heavy-handed. The tannins are remarkably refined, the texture silky and supple. Particularly impressive is the integration of the 15% alcohol – completely seamlessly woven in. Ripe fruit, spicy-sweet oak notes and a fine-grained acidity form a harmonious trio that lends this wine elegance and tension.

Finish

Persistent and harmonious, with lingering fruit and spice notes. The length confirms the quality of the old vines and careful winemaking.

Terroir & Origin

DO Toro – a region renowned for powerful, concentrated red wines. The dry continental climate and intense sunshine produce smaller berries with thicker skins than in Rioja. The 46 to 65-year-old vines grow without irrigation in organic cultivation and deliver naturally concentrated grape must.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Tinta de Toro, the regional Tempranillo clone that stands for greater power and denser structure. Spontaneous fermentation in the cellar, followed by two years of ageing in new and used barrels – a classical, respectful approach that allows the fruit to shine.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Leg of lamb, beef roast, aged Manchego, game dishes, duck breast or hearty braised dishes. A wine that demands and rewards substantial cuisine.

Special Features

A Reserva par excellence that proves Toro can do far more than merely deliver power: here concentration, elegance and finesse combine into an extraordinary whole.
