Numanthia 2008 75cl

Found along the south bank of the Duero River, Bodega Numanthia Termes extends over four vineyard sites across the Toro appellation. Named after an ancient Spanish city which fought off Roman occupation over twenty years ago, Numanthia was established in 1998 by the Rioja based Eguren family. Today, however, the bodega is owned by the leading global luxury trader, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton S.A. At the start, Robert Parker launched their now flawless reputation when he “discovered” their first 1998 vintage of Numanthia, giving it a whopping 95 points. The 40-hectare estate presently produces three wines, of which, their top Tempranillo is Termanthia, a full-bodied, limited production bottle. Today, the bodega is one of the highest profile wineries in Toro, their wines even rival those coming from the best Spanish appellations, like Ribera del Duero, Rioja and Priorat.
