Gran Muruve Reserva Toro DO - Bodegas Frutos Villar

The barrel-aged Gran Muruve Reserva Toro from the wine-growing region of Castilla y León offers a dense ruby red in the glass. Slightly slanted, the red wine glass reveals a charming garnet red tone at the edges. To the nose, this Bodegas Frutos Villar red wine reveals all manner of prunes, raisins and dried fruit. As if that were not already impressive, the aging in small wooden barrels adds other aromas such as beech smoke and firewood.

This wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with only 1.6 grams of residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine, this Spaniard naturally enraptures with the finest balance despite all its dryness. Excellent taste does not necessarily need sugar. This powerful red wine is full-bodied and multifaceted on the palate. Due to the moderate fruit acidity, the Gran Muruve Reserva Toro flatters with a soft palate feeling, without lacking juicy liveliness. In the finish, this red wine from the wine-growing region of Castile - León finally inspires with considerable length. There are again hints of dried fruit and prunes.
