Top of the range Teso La Monja is crafted in miniscule quantities - only around 900 bottles are made each year. It comes from a small, 1.8 hectare plot of vines, with more limestone in the soil than is typical for Toro. It is famously fermented in a wooden egg, whose precious contents are then transferred to three new Bordeaux barrels. Deep ruby in hue, it is aromatic and complex, combining ripe fruit with hints of toasted wood and laurel. Full-bodied, and yet with a sense of weightlessness, it is effortlessly well-balanced, with good acidity and excellent persistence on the palate. The flavours and texture are superbly well-integrated on the long, silky finish.

Winemaking
‘Teso La Monja’ is crafted with the utmost respect for nature’s biorhythms and energies. With constant and meticulous respect for the fragility of the grape bunches, a team of 50 people de-stem the fruit by hand, grape by grape. Once the alcoholic fermentation begins in an open wood tank, the manual pressing commences with 25-50 cm of grapes on the surface. Thus, 35-45% of the grapes are pressed in a process occurring three times a day for an hour and a half. The malolactic fermentation takes place in a unique, egg-shaped oak tank, the Ovum, designed by the master coopers of the maison Taransaud, complying with the ‘golden rule’ or ‘divine ratio’. The Ovum fosters the biorhythms of the wine and achieves a silky, elegant and integrated wine. The wine is then aged in three new fine-grained, medium-toasted French, Bordelaise oak barrels for a minimum period of 24 months.
