About Almirez
Teso la Monja Almirez is a red wine from the DO. Toro crafted by Bodega Teso La Monja in Valdefinjas, Zamora. This winery was established by the Eguren family, who also own the renowned Sierra Cantabria winery in La Rioja.
They own 92 hectares of land, with some of their vineyards being pre-phylloxera and over 130 years old, subjected to a harsh continental climate with scorching summers and frigid winters, which shape the opulent character of their wines. The land is cultivated with respect for the environment and ecosystem, applying minimal interventions when working the soil. Neither herbicides nor systemic products are used.
The grapes are sourced from various vineyards with an average age of 15-65 years. Harvesting is done manually, with an initial selection in the vineyard, followed by a final selection on a sorting table at the winery.
Fermentation is conducted over 8 days at a controlled temperature, followed by an 8-day maceration with the skins. Thirty percent of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in new French oak barrels, while the remainder is processed in stainless steel tanks. The aging of Teso la Monja Almirez extends for 14 months.
Teso la Monja Almirez is a structured red wine, fruity, with silky tannins that appeals to enthusiasts of concentrated wines.

On the palate, it glides with full body and warmth. A concentrated and palatable wine, with sweet tannins and subtly fortified nuances. | |
| 2018 | Almirez 2018 is a supple red wine brimming with aromas of dark fruit, herbaceous undertones, and toasted accents. On the palate, it is robust, flavorful, and richly spiced. This wine boasts mature tannins, a profoundly fruity essence, and a graciously extended finish. |
|
| 2017 | The climate year in Toro was the same as its close neighbors in Ribera de Duero: hot and dry. With one big exception: they didn’t suffer the tragic frost of April 28. The spring began with high temperatures resulting in early budding, and later a sudden drop in temperatures caused the slowdown of the growth cycle again. The late spring and early summer suffered high temperatures that advanced the cycle. In late July and August, temperatures eased up and some precipitation ensured the water reserves until the end of the harvest, improving acidity and giving fruitiness to the wine. | |
| 2016 | In this excellent vintage Almirez 2016 stands out for the finesse and fluidity within the region. It has a character that is typical of Eguren wines, where the small notes of its aging give way to the spicy and fruity flavour of the Tinta de Toro variety. A great year for the baby of the family. | |
| 2015 | Almirez 2015 stands out inside the region for its fluidity. It has a character that is typical of the Eguren, where the small notes of its ageing give way to the spicy and fruity flavour of the Tinta de Toro variety. A great year for the little one in the family. | |
| 2011 | A red wine with a very bulky and pleasant attack and a tasty and fleshy mid -palate, extremely refined and elegant and with a silky texture. A fruity, full-bodied and bulky wine, with polished tannins. Good, refreshing and integrated acidity. Very balanced. Long and persistent finish with fruity, spicy and balsamic sensations. A round, pleasant and elegant wine from Toro. Beautiful and very lively cherry red colour with violet reflections. Clean and very bright wine with a high robe. Its tears stain the glass. Highly fruity. In the nose, the notes of red fruit (blackberries and raspberries) take centre stage and gain in intensity and ripeness as the wine is aerated. Its abundant notes of spices, coffee, chocolate and vanilla are released along with some hot spices and subtle mineral nuances. Elegant background with toasted and smoked notes. |

A very pleasant, round and slightly sweet wine from Toro that we will conquer us. Intense and beautiful cherry colour with purple reflections. High layer and tears that stain the glass. Very fruity wine. The notes of red fruit take centre stage and gain strength and maturity with aeration. Many notes of spices, coffee, chocolate, vanilla, some spicy and subtle mineral hints are also felt. Elegant background of toasted and smoked notes. The wood is very well integrated since it does not hide the notes of fruit, and a wine that is the ultimate expression of the grapes is achieved. |
