A great Spanish red wine value to buy by the case
By Wine Atlas, Thursday 2 July 2009 :: Wine - Spain
As noted yesterday, the week of 4th of July is prime time for wine bargains. And his week’s email special at Arrowine is one of those great buying opportunities, particularly if you like to buy good, Spanish reds by the case.
Sabor Real Toro 2006, from the excellent Spanish growing area of Toro is 100% old-vines tempranillo. The warm Toro climate – where the hot days and cold nights are said to help grow smaller grapes with thicker skins (for a higher skin to juice ratio) – makes for wines of considerable color, flavor, power and longevity compared to tempranillo-based wines from the more famous Rioja region.
