Toro DO was established in 1987 and falls within the Castilla y Leon region.
Tempranillo and Garnacha are the main red varietals. Tempranillo (Known here as Tinta de Toro) produces rich, high alcohol & fruit forward wines. White wines are produced from Malvasia Blanca and Verdejo for Toro Blanco.
The Continental climate, just like the other Castilla y Leon DOs, is provides summer highs and winter lows. Coupled with low annual rainfall, the wines can reach 16% without too much trouble.
