Winemaker Notes
The 2016 Numanthia Termanthia is a powerful, full-bodied red wine from Toro, Spain, known for its intense flavors and elegant structure. Winemaker notes describe it as having a deep, ripe cherry color with ruby reflections. The nose is complex, featuring layers of ripe red and black fruits, sweet spices like clove and nutmeg, and floral hints of violet and carnation alongside aromatic herbs like lavender and rosemary. The palate offers a sweet, fresh attack with velvety tannins and a long finish characterized by black fruit, sweet spices, and earthy nuances.
About Winery
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.

95 | James Suckling
A dense, layered red with berry, chocolate and walnut character. It’s full-bodied and very luscious with power and richness, but shows some reserve and lots of polish at the end.
