Mariano García -creator of Mauro- and his sons once again deliver another edition of the wine that a few years ago marked a turning point in Toro. San Román Mágnum 2020 (150 cl) reveals a nose with pronounced minerality and fruity notes, fresher than in previous vintages. Concentrated, opulent, and balanced on the palate.

General Information
San Román Magnum 2020 (150 cl) is made 100% from Tinta de Toro grapes. The grapes come from vineyards located in the areas of San Román de Hornija, Villaester, and Morales de Toro, on stony and sandy-clay soils. A 24-month aging process in 225 and 500-liter French and American oak barrels, both new and used, rounds out a powerful and elegant ensemble.
San Román Bodegas y Viñedos was established in the late nineties when winemaker Mariano García, after parting ways with Vega Sicilia, decided to embark on a project in the D.O. Toro, applying the same philosophy that had led him to success with Bodegas Mauro (V.T. Castilla y León). Mariano García brought his sons Eduardo and Alberto into the San Román project, turning it into one of the most attractive ventures in the D.O. Toro.
San Román Magnum 2020 (D.O. Toro) is ideal for pairing with "judiones de La Granja" and also breaded sweetbreads; it even pairs wonderfully with a chocolate tart.

Creators' opinion
Ciclo lluvioso con precipitaciones bien repartidas a lo largo del año. La brotación fue rápida y plena después de un invierno templado. Mayo arrancó con tormentas y continuó con temperaturas suaves que permitieron una floración temprana y un excelente cuajado. Tras un mes de julio caluroso, aumentaron los contrastes térmicos entre las temperaturas máximas y mínimas, lo que favoreció maduraciones sosegadas hasta el inicio de la vendimia a finales de agosto.
The winery
The last turn of the century brought a significant revolution in the D.O. Toro. This historic wine region has experienced, over the last two decades, a meteoric rise to the elite of modern winemaking in the country. Among these new-generation Toros, praised by critics and awarded with the most prestigious international prizes, the wines of Bodegas y Viñedos Maurodos stand out.
Maurodos is the winery founded in 1997 by Mariano García (former winemaker of Vega Sicilia and creator of some of the best wines in the country) and his sons Eduardo and Alberto. Their first wine, San Román, debuted with the 1997 vintage and became an icon among the new-generation Toros, as well as one of the key players of the transformation. A red wine that, in addition to the characteristic strength of Toro wines, offered abundant fruit, elegance, maturity, and minerality.
San Román (aged for 22 to 25 months, depending on the vintage) synthesizes the best of Maurodos' vineyards, old Tinta de Toro vines cultivated using ecological methods. Years later, the Prima label was introduced, made from younger vines, easy to drink, fresh, and fruity. A winery committed to producing two wines that offer one of the best quality-to-price ratios on the market.
