TURISMO INDUSTRIAL WINERIES WITH SOUL
BUCRANA TAU 2019
100% Tinta de Toro, sourced from 20-year-old
bush-trained vines grown in sandy, stony soils. Ma-
nual harvest with grape selection at the winery.
Colour: Bright, clean cherry red with a ruby rim and
high density.
Nose: Expressive, fresh, complex and elegant. Do-
minated by aromas of black fruits like plums and
blackberries, accompanied by spicy notes, toasted
nuances, and hints of coffee caramel and cigar box.
Palate: Structured and full-bodied, yet silky, velve-
ty, and pleasant. It shows good acidity and polished
tannins, with a long aftertaste echoing the aromas
detected on the nose.
Pairing and Serving
Bucrana TAU is ideal with red meats, aged cheeses,
stews and casseroles, spiced dishes, and chocola-
te-based desserts. Best served at 15–16 °C, allowing
it to breathe in the glass for a few minutes to express
its full complexity.
BUCRANA CRIANZA
Bucrana Crianza embodies the most approachable and
seductive side of the Toro D.O. This wine is made from
100% Tinta de Toro grapes sourced from 20 hectares of
estate vineyards, with bush-trained vines over 20 years
old grown in clay-sandy soils.
The harvest is manual and carefully selected to ensu-
re grape quality. Fermentation takes place in stainless
steel tanks at controlled temperatures for 10 to 12 days,
preserving the fruit and freshness. The wine is then
aged for 12 months in French and American oak barre-
ls, followed by at least 12 months in bottle.
In the glass, it shows a deep cherry red with ruby highli-
ghts. On the nose, it is clean and expressive, offering
aromas of ripe black fruit, liquorice, spices, and subtle
toasted and balsamic notes. On the palate, it is juicy,
rounded and well-balanced, with sweet tannins and a
long, silky finish.
Perfect for any occasion, Bucrana Crianza should be
served between 16 and 18 °C. It pairs beautifully with
meats, stews, game or richly flavoured rice dishes. A
wine that elegantly conveys the authenticity and confi-
dence of Toro.
