This Spanish organic red wine produced by Bodega Quinta de la Quietud is made from old vines over 80 years of age.
A single varietal Tinta de Toro, Quinta Quietud is produced from vineyards located at an altitude of 700 metres above sea level with yields around 4,000 kg. per hectare.
The soils, which are very poor, are farmed following the principles of organic farming, which includes, among others, decoction of indigenous plants (lavender, nettle) to prevent possible vine diseases.
Harvested by hand, the grapes of Tinta de Toro were selected and brought to the cellar in 20-kg boxes.
