Bodega Rejadorada

Bodegas Rejadorada is one of the most unique estates we work with in Spain. Situated midway between Rueda and Zamora in NW Spain, the tiny DO of Toro is home to arguably Spain’s greatest red grape, the noble and sturdy Tinta da Toro, and it is this native grape, highly resistant to Phylloxera that is used by a majority of wine estates clustered around the town.

Full bodied, intense nose and offering warm and mulled red fruits, nice lick of jam, oak and spice. The tannins wrap around the brooding core, and 30 mins breathing release a richness of fruit and heady, generous structure that really hits the spot.
Creamy cheeses, grilled meat. Pizzas and pasta dishes. Nuts and pates.
Manual harvest of the Finca “Miralmonte”, selection of the best bunches in the winery, pre-­‐fermentation maceration and slow fermentation at a controlled temperature. Aged for 11 months in selected French, Hungarian and American oak barrels.

Highly Commended - Wine Merchant Top 100, 2024. Decanter 2022, Castilla Y Leon, 91 points. Decanter, February 2024, 92 points: ‘From a vineyard planted in 1953, this shows a good balance between fruit maturity and underlying freshness. Showing great vibrancy five years on with deft wood integration. Juicy red fruit topped with sweet spice. Floral nuances (violets and warm crushes roses) give it a fragrant lift. Warm, long finish.
