Description
 
Bodegas Teso La Monja was founded by the Eguren family in 2007. Their first venture in Toro, Bodegas Numanthia Termes, was such a huge success, it was purchased by LVMH. For their ‘second phase’, the Eguren family chose fresher clay soils with limestone veins and gravel surfaces oriented toward the north which offer longer vegetative cycles. Some of these vines are pre-Phylloxera, up to 130 years old. The word ‘Teso’ in Spanish means hill top, similar to a saddle. ‘La Monja’ means nun; the winery is located on a saddle and its design is similar to a cloister.
Even more powerful and rich is the 2013 Almirez, an opaque purple wine made from 100% Tinta de Toro from vineyards planted at 2,300 feet (the highest in all of Toro). The wine has a fabulous opaque purple color, notes of blackberry, blueberry and cassis, licorice, graphite and truffle. Deep, rich, full-bodied and powerful with moderate tannin, this wine was aged 12 months in about 30% new French oak. Drink it over the next decade. Wine Advocate 92+
