Characteristics
Abracadabra is a red wine from Toro, produced by Divina Proporción, a winery founded in 2009 but which did not release its first wine until 2011.
The climate in this area is continental with Atlantic influences, characterized by very hot summers (up to 40 degrees) and very cold winters (minimum of -10 degrees). There is also a large temperature variation between days and nights.
This wine is a varietal Tinta de Toro from vines over 40 years old, the vineyards have been grown under ecological guidelines. As for the design, malolactic fermentation takes place in the barrel and then the wine remains in barrels of French and American oak for 12 months. We recommend aerating an hour before enjoying.

Tasting notes
This is an excellent vintage in D.O. Toro. With a somewhat particular autumn due to scarce rainfall and slightly higher than normal temperatures. It wasn’t until early January that the rainfall went back to normal.From February to March, temperatures and rainfall were normal, so the water reserves and the growth cycle began correctly.Budding and flowering were delayed for a few days due to low temperatures in May.The high temperatures start at the end of June, boosting the flowering and growth process.The summer went by without any major weather events until mid-September, when light rains and a drop in temperatures led to a slower ripening until the start of the harvest, which arrived with an optimum degree of ripeness.The wines of this vintage present a great balance between ripeness and acidity. Wines fresh in their youth and prepared to age perfectly.
This year, which was described as a very good one, started with high temperatures that did not lower until the end of November. There were also quite low water reserves. In the early spring, temperatures began to rise, leading to the first bleedings of the vines. The beginning of the growth cycle did not present any major upheavals, except for the low humidity due to the lack of rain during the winter. During May, the vines began to develop their buds, causing the flowering during the first week of June. When they started to ripen, the drought and the stress on the vines was evident. At the end of August, there a certain amount of rain helped to hydrate the bunches, which helped to collect the healthiest grapes.As a result, we have a year with wines of a concentrated profile and some acidity. Perfect in their youth and with a medium ageing capacity.
The vintage began with a rainy autumn and low temperatures that produced frost for days in a row in December. At the beginning of March, temperatures began to recover and at the beginning of April, the start of the growth cycle was already visible. Due to the persistence of high temperatures, the growth of the vines took place faster, bringing forward the flowering. In June, temperatures dropped but in July they increased significantly, causing the dehydration of some berries. In August and early September the weather evolved normally, until the arrival of the harvest.As a result, we have a year with wines of good body and acidity. Fluid wines in their youth and with a good ageing capacity.

Sight
Beautiful dark cherry colour with violet reflections. Clean and very bright wine with abundant, tinted, dense slow-falling tears. Nose
Very closed at first, but after a while intense fruity aromas are released along with nice toasted notes, some floral hints, sweet spices, notes reminiscent of wet earth and undergrowth and some mineral and balsamic nuances. A balanced, elegant and complex wine. Taste
Ample, unctuous and elegant. Perfectly balanced, with the same complexity as the nose. Long, tasty and very fresh on the palate, with an excellent integrated and crisp acidity and strong balsamic notes. Lively, ripe and very enjoyable tannins. Long and very persistent finish with notes of stewed fruit.
A great value red wine.

Beautiful dark cherry colour with violet reflections. Clean and very bright wine with abundant, coloured and dense slow-falling tears. Nose
It is very closed at the beginning. But just after a while its intense fruity aromas are released along with nice toasted hints, some floral notes, sweet spices, notes reminiscent of wet earth and undergrowth and some mineral and balsamic nuances. A balanced, elegant and complex wine. Taste
It is ample, unctuous and elegant. Perfectly balanced wine in which the complexity noticed in the nose appear once again. Long, tasty and very fresh mid palate, with an excellent integrated and crispy acidity and marked balsamic notes. Lively, ripe and very pleasant tannins.

A great red wine with a great value for money.
