Arbocala Reserva 2017 belongs to a vintage classified as Excellent in the D.O. Toro. It’s a single-varietal of Tinta de Toro, the star variety of the area. The grapes were fermented in stainless steel vats. Eighteen months in American and French oak barrels have infused it with aromas of vanilla, brioche and toast together with notes of ripe black fruit. Slightly sweet on the attack, medium-bodied, long on mid-palate and a lingering finish.
Palacio de Villachica is a winegrowing firm established in 2017 which reflects the passion, tradition and excellence of some of Spain’s most prestigious wine regions: Ribera del Duero, Rioja and Toro.
Arbocala Reserva 2017 (D.O. Toro) is ideal with pork fillet with a reduction of forest fruits or a nice piece of grilled steak.
