Termes is a strong mid-range route into Toro: ripe and powerful enough to show the region, but deliberately more approachable than Numanthia’s top wines.

How it is made
The decisions behind the style.
The focus is on preserving ripe fruit and freshness in a full-bodied Toro framework, with enough structure to age for several years but a style intended to be enjoyable relatively young.
What does it taste like?
The shape of the wine.
Ripe black fruit, red fruit, spice and tobacco leaf lead into cinnamon, cedar and menthol, with soft tannins and vibrant acidity.

Serve it well
Serve around 16°C. A little air helps the black fruit and spice open up.
If this wine were human…
The big-hearted joker
If Termes were human, it would be generous, a little mischievous and usually the person still feeding everyone after dessert.

Does any of this sound suspiciously familiar?
Generous, a little mischievous and usually the person still feeding everyone after dessert. You are generous with people you like and pleasingly unmoved by people who insist on being impressed.
At dinner, you are happy to share the bottle, but you definitely noticed who poured themselves the heroic measure. Secretly, you are slightly competitive about having found the good place before everyone else.
In short: generous, a little mischievous and usually the person still feeding everyone after dessert. toro energy, translated into a person.
Purely for fun — this is the wine’s fictional personality, not a psychological reading of yours.
