Trial analysis
Deep red colour. Expressive nose of sour cherries and sweet spices; a hint of reduction. The straightforward mouth is in line with the nose, with a touch of oak.
The wine opens up when aired, its structure is enhanced by the fresh fruit.
A delicious Toro, both powerful and elegant.

Reviews
R. Parker (91+/100)

They reduced the maceration and extraction in the warm 2022 vintage, especially for the 2022 Flor de Vetus, the entry-level red, to make it more approachable. They also shortened the time in barrel by two months. The fruit profile is darker than in the wines from Villacreces in Ribera del Duero. Composed of Tempranillo with 5% Garnacha, it has 14.3% alcohol and a balanced mouthfeel, making it medium-bodied with a fluid texture.

James Suckling (91/100)

A firm, generous and structured red featuring red berries, dried herbs and warm spices. It showcases a full body with plush tannins, solid structure, a spicy lift and a delicious core of berries. The finish is compact and firm at this stage.

Wine estate

Coming from Vitoria, the Anton family now owns its own estate in Rioja, but also the Finca Villacreces in Ribera del Duero and invested in the Vetus project in Toro and Rueda.
