About Celsus

Celsus is a single-variety Tinta de Toro wine made by Bodegas Vetus in the D.O. Toro (Castilla y León).
 
Owned by Artevino Family Wineries, the group that also owns Bodegas Orben, Bodegas Villacreces and Izadi, the Bodega Vetus project is run by the Antón family in Zamora. With 20 hectares planted with the Tinta de Toro variety and a modern, newly built winery, they have managed to keep up with the times without leaving behind the essence of the D.O. Toro.
 
Celsus comes from a very old, pre-phylloxera estate called Camparrón in Morales. Facing north-south and lying at 700 metres above sea level, the vineyard is about 1.3 hectares with vines planted on sandy loam soil. These vines are cultivated using traditional agriculture and the harvest is manual. 
 
After the manual harvest, there is a double selection process and the Celsus grapes are destemmed to ferment in conical 3000-litre tanks. Malolactic fermentation then takes place in new French oak barrels, where the wine ages for 14 months. It is bottled without clarifying or filtering.
 
Celsus is complex, elegant, limited production wine, and the flagship product from this winery. A great red created to show the full essence of Toro in its most modern interpretation.
 
2020 Celsus 2020 is a red wine with aromas of ripe red and black fruits on the nose accompanied by toasted and mineral notes and a delicious touch of chocolate. The palate is meaty, with an elegant silkiness marked by ripe tannins and the presence of succulent fruit accompanied by sweet spice and smoke. A well-balanced, powerful and elegant red wine.
2018 Celsus 2015 is an aged red wine with aromas of ripe red and black fruit, toasted notes and hints of chocolate, sweet spices and minerals. On the palate it is powerful, meaty and very vigorous. A wine with an unctuous texture, ripe tannins and a persistent and spicy finish.
2015 Celsus 2015 is an aged red wine exuding ripe red and black fruit aromas, complemented by toasted undertones and hints of chocolate, sweet spices, and minerals. On the palate, it is robust, meaty, and exuberantly vigorous. This wine boasts a velvety texture, mature tannins, and a lingering, spiced finish.
2010 In the mouth, this Spanish wine is tasty, fleshy and unctuous and shows marked spicy aromas. It has a good acidity and ripe tannins. Long and very persistent.

Dark and intense cherry colour with violet nuances. Clean and bright wine, with abundant dense and slightly coloured tears.

Medium-high intensity nasal aromas, in which the notes of fruit are clearly dominant. Its notes of ripe red and black fruit are complemented by some toasted aromas. Some hints of chocolate, toffee and coffee are also noticed along with some mineral notes.
