Iturria Toro 2017
Market Price
To show you the value you're getting as an Angel...
We regularly benchmark a selection of our wines against up to three comparable wines on the market. The Market Price is based on the price of those wines.
What do we mean by benchmark? We taste them blind against our own wines, or we use our market knowledge (over 40 years between us) to set an industry standard Market Price.
If you buy one of our wines and disagree with the Market Price, or it's not your cup of tea, we'll give you your money back. For more info, see our FAQS.

About the wine
A big wine to say an even bigger thank you
- This big wine is a big thank you from the little guy. You helped Xavier's winery survive its toughest year to date. His family winery went from selling out their stock to local bars, cafes and restaurants, to watching it all close down completely within the space of a day.
- His big, gutsy Toro red was destined for upmarket restaurants. It’s made from 60 year old vines, with 4 years of ageing (including 20 months in posh French oak)... to see it go down the drain would have been a catastrophe.
- We featured the 2016 vintage of this wine in our Northern Spain Rescue case and Angels fell head over heels with this powerful and deeply complex wine. It's a fabulous fruity, rich red, that is by no means for the faint of heart. With brooding flavours of dark brambly fruits, this is a wine guaranteed to put Toro firmly on your map.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Xavier Iturria
- Xavier took his pen off the paper in 1999, finishing his studies in Viticulture and preparing to make his winemaking dreams a reality in the shiny new millennium.
- Exchanging one winemaking hot-spot for several others, Xavier left Bordeaux to cut his teeth in some of Spain's most important winemaking regions. Ribera de Duero, Toro and Rioja are the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Xavier's very exclusive list.
- The years of experience came good in 2009 when Xavier established his very own Winery in Morales de Toro, his vineyard boasting a staggering 700m altitude and a ravishing selection of Tempranillo and Grenache vines. You don't need us to tell you that a vineyard like this + a winemaker like that = some seriously exciting loot.
