Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Toro wine is the 2018 Paydos that carries a new, much more elegant and clean label, somewhat reflecting the subtle shift in style toward fresher wines while keeping the Toro character. This was cropped from a cooler and wetter year when they picked the grapes on September 20, grapes that were vinified in 5,000-liter tank with indigenous yeasts and a small percentage of full clusters. The wine matured for 15 months in French oak barrels, 20% of them new. It's aromatic and expressive, showing the ripe Toro character, with power and elegance, integrated oak and quite fruit-driven. It's juicy and round, with ripe tannins and a soft but full mouthfeel. 8,000 bottles were filled in March 2020.

Description
Produced by Viñedos Alonso del Yerro, Paydos is a passionate reflection of the Tinta de Toro and the winemaking tradition of the Toro region. Javier Alonso and María del Yerro, who founded the winery in 2002, have managed to capture the essence of this land in a wine that speaks of history and dedication. With a limited production of just 5,000 bottles, Paydos represents the pinnacle of excellence.
The vineyards, located in Morales de Toro, are at an altitude of 720 metres above sea level and have an average age of over 80 years, giving the wine character and complexity. The soils, a mixture of sandy gravel and red clay, provide an ideal environment for the vines to develop grapes of great concentration and depth.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand in mid-September and the vinification process includes a gentle extraction to respect the purity of the fruit, with a 20-day maceration and malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels. Aging is carried out for 15 months on fine lees, adding texture and complexity to the blend.
Taste
Alonso del Yerro Paydos displays a deep, bright red colour in the glass, a prelude to a rich sensory experience. On the nose, notes of ripe black fruits such as plums and blueberries stand out, accompanied by a touch of vanilla and soft spicy nuances. On the palate, it is a sweet and enveloping wine, with firm and polished tannins that provide a perfect balance. The moderate acidity and long finish with liquorice echoes reflect the elegance and robust character of the Tinta de Toro. We recommend decanting half an hour before serving, ideally at a temperature of 17-18 degrees Celsius.
A fleshy wine, with a generous structure and a soul that beats to the rhythm of its land, making each sip a celebration of Toro's winemaking tradition and art.
