Winemaker Notes
The 2002 Termes was Wine Spectator #3 WOTY.
Lying west of Ribera del Duero, Toro has become more widely known since a quality revival began there in the 1980s. Numanthia-Termes, one of the leading estates, makes two other wines in addition to the value-priced Termes: the main-label Numanthia and the high-end Termanthia. This estate-bottled wine is made from a clone of the Tempranillo grape, known in the Toro region as Tinto de Toro. The vines, some grown on ungrafted roots, are more than 30 years old. Brothers Miguel and Marcos Eguren own the estate. 2,000 cases made.

Numanthia is located in the Toro region of Spain. Its four vineyards are located along the south bank of the Duero River.
The wine is named after a legendary Spanish city that was destroyed (after 20 yrs of resistance) by Roman legions. It is to Spain what the hilltop village of Masada is to Israel: a monument of history. Its 40 hectares of land are covered with an abundance of elements derived from the disintegration of Pliocene grit, clay and limestone.
Numanthia's first vintage was produced in 1998 and received a 95-point rating from Robert Parker. Since then, the Toro region has been producing wines that have begun to rival those of Spain's richest wine-producing regions of Ribera del Duero, Rioja and Priorat.
