Characteristics Flor de Vetus

Flor de Vetus is a D.O. Toro red wine made by Vetus. This winery lies a few kilometres from the town of Toro (Zamora), the epicentre of this denomination of origin.

The Vetus winery is part of Grupo Artevino, a winemaking cooperative that also counts wineries like Orben, Villacreces and Izadi among its members.

Flor de Vetus is a single-variety Tinta de Toro wine. The grapes come from low yield vineyards planted 700m above sea level on north to south facing slopes. The vines grow on limestone soils, with coarse and fine-grained sandstone.

The Flor de Vetus winemaking process begins with a manual harvest and a double selection process in the winery.
It is then fermented in tapered tanks. Before being sold, Flor de Vetus ages for nine months in French oak barrels.
The Flor de Vetus 2012 vintage achieved an impressive 92 Parker points. With a good price and a high rating, it became a Decantalo best-seller.

Tasting notes Flor de Vetus

Flor de Vetus 2019 is a red wine with a marked fruit character on the nose, accompanied by subtle toasty and undergrowth notes. The palate is juicy and fresh, with a pleasant sweetness, showing its delicious fruit accompanied by nuances of liquorice. A very easy to drink red wine.
Powerful and cool at times, in passing it is marked by a very high burden of liquorice and fruit. It has good acidity and high tannin sensation. Long, correct persistence.

Dark cherry with violet tones. Clean and bright, has an abundant glyceric tear.

Medium-high intensity which clearly dominates the fruit. Berries, currants, blackberries, and black berries give way to balsamic, spices and lactic notes. Background of soft toast.
In the mouth, it is a very powerful wine, with a mid-palate marked by a great load of fruit with a quite high alcoholic content. Great acidity and high tannic sensation. Medium-bodied red wine which is very nice and sweet. Long finish with a correct persistence.

Dark cherry red colour with violet tones. Clean and bright, abundant load of glycerine, slightly coloured.

Medium-high nose in which the fruit stands out. Red fruit, redcurrant and blackberries give way to balsamic, spiced and lactic notes. Soft toasted nuances in the background.

Others wines Vetus

Since 2003, Bodegas Vetus chooses to preserve the essence of Toro, at the same time as they are inspired by the discovery of new concepts, new nuances. His extensive experience in the hotel and restaurant business lead Gonzalo Antón to create a wine, Vetus, which soon became one of the most appreciated ones in restaurants. The addition of new production techniques and his desire to continue improving have drawn him towards creating his own style, which consolidated over time. Quality, the connection with gastronomy and the fondness for the land, are the main pillars of Bodega Vetus.
