Pago la Jara

Pago la Jara is a red wine produced by the winery Compañía de Vinos Telmo Rodríguez in the D.O. Toro.

Compañía de Vinos Telmo Rodríguez is born from the collaboration between two oenologists, Pablo Eguzkiza and Telmo Rodríguez, with a vast experience in Burgundy and La Rioja.

This "company" makes wines in several Spanish denominations of origin (Málaga, Alicante, Rioja, Rueda, Ribera del Duero, Toro...). In all the areas where it produces wines, the winery always tries to use the local varieties of each region.

The grapes used by Pago la Jara come from the villages of Argujillo, Villabuena and Morales, from 5 plots that comprise 4 hectares of vineyards belonging to 3 families of suppliers who use traditional wine growing with the company since 1998. They have vase-shaped vines of Tinta de Toro cultivated on deep, gravelly soils "cascajos" with good drainage and varied textures. The grapes ferment with local yeasts in 3000-Kg oak vats. They are aged for 18 months in barrels made of French wood from different origins. 70% in new barrels, 20% in one-use barrels and 10% in 1500-litre foudres.
