Black Toro

Black Toro - Vin de Pays d'Oc

Black Toro is our locally grown wild black bull. You can see these animals in herds all around Camargue and Petite Camargue areas. They are not used for Spanish bullfighting, but in the arena games, during which some experimented young locals have to steal attributes hung between the bull’s horns. Some local bulls that appear every week end in these games get to be so famous that some of them get statued in the village City Center.

Modern wine making techniques on very ripe cabernet sauvignon, with 10% local grapes from local varietals - Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre - makes this blend irresistible and easy to drink. Enjoy it with red meat, ripe cheese, and spicy dishes.
