Teso La Monja

Initially from La Rioja region, the Eguren family quickly fell in love with the Toro terrain and founded the Teso La Monja estate in 2007, making it the family’s second property in the region after Numanthia-Termes. Teso La Monja like the family’s other Toro DO property, takes a fresh approach, aiming to produce well-balanced wines that are powerful yet elegant. The estate encompasses parcels of old vines (up to 130-years-old) that are scattered across the Toro, Zamora, Valdefinjas and Villabuena del Puente zones. Planted to the Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) variety, this estate produces five wines from about 100 hectares of vineyards. Their greatest creation is the eponymously named, Teso La Monja, which is an extraordinary wine, that flawlessly exposes the magic of the indigenous Tinta de Toro grape.
