Toro with patience: deep, dark and structured.
Calma is the deeper, more structured wine in the Bigardo range. Layers of dark fruit with pepper, leather and earthy tones. A red for slow evenings and hearty meals.
Tastes like: Blackberry, cassis and plum, with pepper, leather and earthy spice.
Feels like: Full-bodied and dry, with firm, drying grip, balanced freshness and oak in the background.
Great with: Slow-roasted lamb, rich stews, aged Manchego.
Singapore and Asian favourites: Braised beef brisket, lamb rendang, black pepper beef.
The geeky bit: Tinta de Toro from old vines on Toro’s sandy soils, which give small crops of concentrated fruit.
Why we like it: Bold and contemplative. Toro’s depth in a bottle.
Serve: 16 to 18°C. Room temperature in Singapore is too warm for red wine, so give it 20 minutes in the fridge first. Decant 30 to 60 minutes.
Alcohol: 15%
