Luchador Tempranillo
WHY WE LOVE IT
- Toro is a town located on a fertile high plain northwest of Madrid. It is the perfect region for Tempranillo in this style, with high elevation, hot days and cool nights.
- The original motto of the wine was “Body Slam Your Tongue!” And that is still the philosophy of the wine. The aim is to make a wine that is bold, and big and makes an impact.
