Encomienda de la Vega

Encomienda de la Vega is a red wine from D.O. Toro, the 'small' one of Bodegas Divina Proporción.
In 2009 they began to construct the winery and in 2012 they planted the vines around the building. The first wine arrived in 2011.
This wine is a single variety Tinta de Toro grown in 15 hectares of their own vineyards with vines of a minimum age of 30 years old, located around the winery, over 600-900 metres above sea level.
The climate in this area is extreme as the winters are already very cold (minimum of -10 degrees) and summers are very warm (maximum of 40 degrees)
The harvest is done by hand and in small crates in order to ensure they arrive at the winery intact. The selection of the grape is the same in the vineyards as in the winery, the quality is fundamental.
After the maceration of the grapes in stainless steel deposits, they undergo a fermentation with local yeast for 10 days.
Finally, Encomienda de la Vega rest in French and American oak barrels for 5 months in order to gain longevity without losing freshness and joy.
