Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The grapes for the Toro red 2019 Gago were picked from mid-September in an early harvest when the wine ripened to 14.4% alcohol and a pH of 3.8. The grapes come from the villages of Argujillo, Villabuena del Puente and Morales de Toro and were fermented in oak and stainless steel vats and matured for 14 months in oak foudres, with 20% of the volume in barriques. There is finesse within the power and the ripe and concentrated vintage. It's juicy and lush, with abundant, grainy tannins. It needs powerful food. 40,695 bottles produced. It was bottled in May and June 2020.

Description
Gago is a representative wine of the Toro region, produced by the Compañía de Telmo Rodríguez. This wine is made from old vines of low density, mostly of the Tinta de Toro variety with a small proportion of Albillo Mayor. The grapes come from 21 plots located in Grulla, Teso del Hierro and Casa Blanca, in the villages of Argujillo, Villabuena and Morales de Toro.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand in boxes, ensuring a careful selection of the grapes. Fermentation is carried out in wooden and stainless steel tanks of 6,000 kilograms. Ageing is 14 months, with 80% in foudres and 20% in barrels.
Taste
Gago red wine stands out for its elegance and balance. In the tasting, a combination of finesse and power is perceived, with a juicy and exuberant flavour. The tannins are abundant and grainy, adding a robust structure to the wine. We recommend serving it at a temperature of 16ºC to fully appreciate its characteristics. This wine is ideal to accompany powerful foods that can complement its concentration and richness. Gago is defined by seeking elegance over strength, resulting in a racial and sophisticated wine that reflects the care and tradition in its elaboration.
