Numanthia is the emblematic wine of the winery Bodega Numanthia. The 2008 vintage was selected as the Best Red Wine of Spain. Moreover, Bodegas Numanthia got 100 Parker points from the magazine The Wine Advocate with Numanthia 2004. According to José Rodríguez, the person in charge of Bodegas Numanthia, the secret of this wines lies, in part, in the old age of its vines.
This is an excellent red wine from the D.O. Toro made of 100% Tinta de Toro grapes. Bodega Numanthia uses low-yield vines in order to obtain concentrated fruit with a remarkable intensity and strength. Regarding its production, the grapes from a single 120-year-old estate are manually harvested and are stepped on. Finally, this wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels from Bordeaux.
