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.

The 2014 Romanico is the better value of the two, with fabulous, dense blackberry and cassis fruit, with licorice, camphor and forest floor. It is dense, full-bodied, opulent, and a dazzling example of a wine made from modest yields of 31 hectoliters per hectare from their younger and middle-aged vineyards. It is 100% Tinto de Toro and their largest production cuvée. It is a sensational buy at $17.00, tasting more like a wine that costs three times that price. Wine Advocate 92
