James Suckling
A dense, layered red with berry, chocolate and walnut character. It’s full-bodied and very luscious with power and richness, but shows some reserve and lots of polish at the end. Drink after 2023.
Wine Advocate
I was pleasantly surprised by the 2016 Numanthia, which is balanced and serious, with integrated oak and a soft palate with round tannins. It feels like a big improvement over the 2014 I tasted last time. 2016 was a rainy and cooler year with a later harvest when the old-vine Tempranillo was picked on September 25th and October 10th. It fermented with selected yeasts and matured in 225- and 600-liter French oak barrels, 60% of them new, for 18 months. 80,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in June 2018.

Weitere Informationen über das Weingut Numanthia
Der Name des Weinguts stammt von der Stadt Numancia, deren Einwohner heldenhaft der römischen Belagerung standhielten und es vorzogen zu sterben als sich zu ergeben. Numanthia steht somit für Hartnäckigkeit und Resistenz. Dies sind Charakterzüge der Weinberge in Toro, welche sowohl extreme klimatische Bedingungen als auch die Reblaus überstehen konnten. Die Kombination aus einzigartigem Terroir und Weinberge machen aus Numanthia eines der Kultweingüter Toros in Spanien.
