This red wine was born after owner Oriol traveled to Germany to attend a concert. Upon his return, he wanted to create the ideal red wine to enjoy at a concert, picnic or with friends. Thus was born El Oso y la Alemana, an intense, flavorful red Toro with lots of character.

Trial analysis
An A-typical red Toro wine (well just outside DO Toro). Finesse and elegance trumped, a rarity in the Region. Fragrant with dried rose petals. Spicy Tempranillo and Garnatxa without unrolling wanton muscle. Finesse and Fraicheur rarely encountered. Supple and inviting for a second glass.
