After acquiring Bodegas Numanthia in 2008, the French group LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Henessy), the world’s largest luxury goods conglomerate, decided to introduce some changes in the winemaking style of world-famous Numanthia.
While preserving its trademark intensity and lushness, the winemaking team, headed by Mr. Lucas Löwi, fine-tuned the vinification process over the years with the aim of producing a more elegant and harmonious wine. Their hard work has definitely paid off, for 2018 is one the best vintages of Numanthia to date.
A varietal Tinta de Toro, this Spanish red wine from DO Toro is sourced from 30 plots planted with 50 to 100-year-old vines, most of them ungrafted, grown in sandy-clay soils at an altitude of 700 metres.
Harvested by hand and meticulously selected, the partially destemmed grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks with selected yeasts.
After completing malolactic fermentation, this red wine from Toro was transferred into 225 and 400-litre French oak barrels (60% new) and vats, where it was aged for a period of 18 months.
Gently filtered, Numanthia 2018 was bottled and aged for a further 24 months before its commercial release.
In order to enjoy it to the fullest, it is essential to decant this Crianza red wine a minimum of 2 hours before you drink it.
