Termanthia 2015 is a remarkable expression of the Tinta de Toro variety, hailing from the esteemed Bodegas Numanthia. With a profound alcohol content of 15%, this wine showcases the craftsmanship of old vineyards, some of which are up to 150 years old. This iconic wine embodies a deep intensity of fruit and a robust body, resulting in an elegant and complex profile that is truly captivating.

Every sip of Termanthia carries over a century of history and artisanal production, reflecting a haute couture style in its creation. The winemaking process begins with 100% destemming, followed by fermentation and maceration in four French oak vats, varying in capacity from 10 to 20 hectoliters. For the first ten days, the grapes are gently crushed twice daily, with a five-day cold maceration before fermentation, leading to an extended maceration period of 24 days with the skins. The malolactic fermentation occurs in new French oak barrels, contributing to the wine’s depth and complexity. Termanthia then ages for 22 months in new French oak, with racking every four months, enhancing its refined character.

Visually, Termanthia captivates with a mature cherry-red color, showcasing a high intensity without any signs of evolution. On the nose, it presents an intense and enchanting bouquet, rich in complexities; initial notes of black berries such as blackcurrants and cassis are followed by violet blossoms, clove, and nutmeg spices, with hints of tobacco leaves, thyme, and rosemary — all perfectly balanced and harmonious.

On the palate, Termanthia 2015 greets with a broad and generous entrance, delivering an exquisite and delicate expression. Flavors of black fruits, violets, wild herbs, and sweet spices intertwine, creating a harmonious mouthfeel. The finish is refreshingly long, delicate, and exhilarating.

For an ideal pairing, consider serving Termanthia alongside duck foie gras with warm fruit, toasted bread, and a PX reduction for starters. For the main course, the roasted lamb from Peñafiel with a crispy herb crust is an exquisite choice. Finally, complement this exceptional wine with a dessert of pure dark chocolate truffles to elevate your dining experience. Enjoy Termanthia 2015 and indulge in the essence of Spain.
