Origin Spain, Toro

Don Manuel Fariña was among the first to bottle wines in Toro in the 1970's. He singlemindedly fought to establish the DO of Toro which was finally achieved in the 1980's. Modern in style, the beautifully balanced Lágrima is made of 100% Tinta de Toro grapes from 25 - 30 year old vines and aged in French and American oak barriques. It is another example of the ever evolving and innovative wines of the Fariña family. Named Lágrima which means 'tear drop' (like Lacryma in Italian for the Tears of Christ wine), this red is made only from the free-run juice, the 'tear drops' of the grapes.  

Knowing that the origin of wine is the grapevine, and that this origin is what makes all the difference, at Fariña, all year round, looking after the grapevines is a paramount objective, a daily task of particular significance. Currently cultivating over 300 hectares of their own vineyards - some of which are over a hundred years old - the vines are tended with sustainable and organic methods. 

The trellised vines planted by the winery follow the double guyot system, which allows them to control the number of bunches per vine and increase the surface area of leaves exposed to the sun, thereby improving the efficiency of the photosynthesis process. The system also allows for limited growth of the grapes, which leads to their components being more concentrated and, ultimately, their quality too.

Ultra smooth and silky with mature notes of berries, violets and subtle spices, this Toro exudes the soul of the region with its savory style. Serving with garlicky roasted meats and vegetables would be an amazing match or with fine Spanish cheeses.
