Antony Terryn is one of those wine makers whose unbridled passion for his soil, vines and winemaking allows him to transcend the limitations set by those around him. Having made wine in some of the worlds most prestigious arenas, including his native France, Antony settled on a patch of old vine Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) near the town of Toro in North West Spain. Being an area renowned for low cost bulk wine that fuelled the inhabitants of Madrid, what Toro isnt known for are the small patches of exceptional terroir that are to be found with a little hard work, but which largely seemed to have gone unnoticed.
It is from this small patch of 8 hectares that Antony produces a small amount of each of his wines with the loving care and attention to detail that is so apparent once tasted. The low yields, hand harvesting and organic viticulture along with exacting fruit selection and meticulous wine making produce simply stunning wines.

El Titan' is made using the lowest yielding, oldest vines and the most rigorous fruit selection. It is elegant yet dark and brooding; sophisticated yet fully loaded with bright fruit and herbal over tones. It has a grippy, solid structure that finally gives way to a long finish.
