Teso La Monja Alabaster 2020 is a full-bodied red wine produced from Tinta de Toro (aka Tempranillo) in the Toro region of Spain. Produced from an 11ha vineyard of very old, un-grafted (phylloxera-free) Tinta de Toro vines, with yields as low as 1,000l/ha, this powerful, concentrated red was matured for 18 months in new French oak barrels. A deeply textural wine redolent of plush black fruits and well-integrated oak spice, Alabaster has become one of the true reference wines of Toro and one with great ageing potential. Decanting is recommended.

- The 2021 Alabaster is sourced from 130-year-old pre-phylloxera vines in Toro and aged in barrels. It's a garnet hue with a blueish sheen. Its nose boasts ripe black fruits, including plums and blackberries, with undergrowth, herb and smoked cedar hints. Ample and bold on the palate, the fine-grained tannins and supple texture lead to a long-lasting finish. A rare and pure Toro red, it offers a concentrated yet weightless mouthfeel.
