Termes Toro Red Wine Numanthia Winery 75 CL

Termes Toro Red Wine is a vibrant and fruity red wine produced by Numanthia Winery, located in the prestigious Toro designation of origin, in Castilla y León, Spain.

This wine reflects the region’s rich winemaking tradition, inspired by the historic city of Numancia, from which the winery takes its name. Founded in 1998 and part of the LVMH group since 2008, Numanthia Winery uses old Tempranillo vines, known locally as Tinta de Toro, grown in extreme dry conditions on clay-sandy soils at an altitude of around 700 metres.

It is the entry-level wine in its portfolio, designed to be accessible and youthful compared to its more complex offerings such as Numanthia and Termanthia.
