La Cuadrilla de Sobreño 2022
Flavor Profile
La Cuadrilla de Sobreño is a juicy and rich, dark-fruited Tinto de Toro (aka Tempranillo) from a pioneering, family-run winery established in 1998.
At the time, Bodegas Sobreño was one of only 10 registered wineries in Toro, a region in Castilla y León in northwestern Spain—making its founder, Roberto San Ildefonso, a true pioneer of the area.
A native of Rioja, he was driven by Toro’s untapped potential. With dry, hot summers followed by cold, harsh winters and altitudes of 2000 to 3000 feet above sea leavel, the region is capable of yielding bold and intense versions of Spain's signature red grape.
Today, Roberto works alongside his daughter, Paloma, who has been helping usher the bodega into the future by introducing biodynamic viticulture practices across their vineyards. They farm around 200 acres of bush vines, about half of which are over 45 years old. The older plants produce fewer, but more concentrated, grapes. Add in the Toro region’s long, hot summers and brilliant sunshine, and flavor dial goes way, way up...
Inspired by the pleasure of enjoying a great wine with a group of lifelong friends (a “cuadrilla” in Spanish), La Cuadrilla de Sobreño is a silky, juicy-fresh Tinto del Toro with ripe dark fruit and subtle vanilla flavors.
