Characteristics Prima

Prima is a red wine from Toro prepared by Maurodos Winery and Vineyards. This wine is a blend of Tinta de Toro (90%) and Grenache (10%).

Prima grapes come from vines between 10 and 35 years old, owned by the winery, growing on clay and sandy soils.

The temperature differences between day and night are great, which gives the wine a great aromatic power.

The two varieties are vinified separately in tanks of different materials, so that the essence of each plot is not lost.

Prima aging takes place in barrels of French and American oak for about 14 months. The barrels are renewed by 20% year on year. The red wines of Bodegas Maurodos look to find excellence in Tinta de Toro, the main variety used by them. The winery has 65 hectares of organic vineyards which produce 2 wines.

Others wines Maurodos

Maurodos is probably one of the first wine projects that showed the extraordinary potential of the vineyards and wines of Toro. Maurodos, popularly known by its brand San Román, the name of its most emblematic wine, carries the signature of Mariano García, one of the most respected oenologists in Spain. He worked thirty years as the technical head of Vega Sicilia, before he started his own projects: the first one in Ribera del Duero with Bodegas Mauro in 1980, and a few years later, in 1997, in Toro, with Maurodos, where he has 100 hectares of vineyard, planted mostly with the variety Tinta de Toro and Grenache.

Others wines D.O. Toro

In Toro, the red wines are mainly made with the Tinta de Toro grape variety, planted on soils of fluvial origin by the influence of the Duero River and its tributaries, grown on poor, sandy and dry soils the further away you move from the river. Toro offers powerful wines, well bodied, flavourful, complex, and tannic. Although on a smaller scale, the region also produces white wines using the Verdejo and Malvasía varieties. Since the ´80’s, Toro has experienced a revival in its wines, thanks to a new generation of highly skilled winemakers and the installation of many big names in the region, such as Pintia, a winery belonging to the Vega Sicília group, or Teso la Monja, part of Sierra Cantabria.
