Bodega Numantia was named in tribute to the town of Numancia, renowned in antiquity for its legendary resistance of Roman invasion. Bodega Numantia lies among hills sculpted by the River Duero in North Western Spain, not far from the Portuguese border. The climate is extreme with hot dry Summers and cold Winters., but these are tough, tenacious vines that resisted the phylloxera epidemic.

Wine has been made in Toro for over two thousand years, and Tinta de Toro, from the Tempranillo family, is a grape that rewards meticulous vinification by revealing an intense, complex character. The wines are concentrated and powerful in essence, their berry fruit notes balanced by a silky, elegant texture.
