"I have written about
previous releases from this winery numerous times,
and they continue to represent some of the finest
values coming out of Spain." By Robert Parker.

steel tanks and machinery at large. Their 100% commitment
to quality, pioneering efforts, respect for the
terroir, unparalleled knowledge and belief in the

gain them the reputation as one of the premium producers
of Toro wines. Every Farina wine is made to show
all the flavours of the region and varietal but
with the unmistakable Farina trait of Elegance.
Today, Bodegas Farina is considered one of the most
influential winemakers of the last 25 years in Spain.
