Description
Profoundly deep and concentrated. The extremely deep color, aromatic nose and ripe, black-fruit flavors of Campo Eliseo come from 100 percent Tinta de Toro grapes. The old vines are rooted in sandy, iron-laden soils with stones that capture heat during the day and radiate it at night, fostering optimally mature tannins. Planted at 900 vines per hectare, the vines are goblet pruned to protect them from the wind. The region’s low rainfall results in small, concentrated yields of 20 hectoliters per hectare, and wide diurnal swings give the grapes exceptional balance. New French oak barrels contribute integrated vanilla and clove spice nuances to the beautifully structured, full-bodied flavors.
