Buy Wine from San Román Bodegas y Viñedos
Imagine a landscape bathed in sunshine, where the wind caresses the vineyards and the Duero River meanders between golden hills. Here, in the heart of the Toro Denomination of Origin, is San Román Bodegas y Viñedos, a winery that has managed to capture the soul of this land in every bottle.
Vineyards
To speak of the San Román vineyards is to speak of patience, respect for the land and a constant search for balance. The winery has 140 hectares of its own vineyards, with vines that reach an average age of 45 years. Some of these vines, with their twisted trunks and stony soils, have stood the test of time, offering grapes with unequalled concentration and depth.
The soil here is a mosaic: sands, gravels and clays coexist in a natural balance that forces the roots to dig deep in search of water and nutrients. This diversity translates into wines with a rich and complex aromatic palette.
But terroir is not just soil. Toro's extreme climate, with harsh winters and scorching summers, shapes the personality of these grapes. Sunny days ensure full ripeness, while cool nights maintain acidity and balance. It is a dance between intensity and freshness, a constant pulse between strength and elegance.
For years, San Román has been committed to organic viticulture and, more recently, to biodynamics. This means less chemical intervention and more trust in natural cycles. It is not a fashion; it is a conviction that the best wine comes from a healthy, living vineyard in harmony with its environment.
Philosophy
San Román does not look for fashions or passing trends. Here, each wine tells a story, the story of its land and its vintage. Respect for varietal identity and terroir is non-negotiable.
The grapes are harvested by hand, a meticulous process that ensures that only the best grapes reach the winery. Each plot is then vinified separately, allowing each wine to retain its unique character. There are no fixed recipes, no shortcuts. It is the vineyard that sets the pace, not the other way around.
Ageing is another key aspect. San Román has evolved in this aspect, moving away from the dominant wood and seeking a greater integration of oak in the wines. We use 225 and 500 litre barrels, as well as foudres, which allows the fruit to express itself without being overshadowed by the oak. The aim is not to impose, but to accompany.
This way of working is reflected in their wines. " Prima", for example, is a vibrant introduction to the winery's style: fresh, fruity, with a spicy touch that seduces from the first sip. " San Román", on the other hand, is the purest expression of the tinta de Toro: powerful, structured, but with an elegance and finesse that can only be achieved with time and patience.
Each bottle of San Román is a tribute to the land, a way of telling, without words, the passion and respect with which this family lives wine. In the end, that is what matters: that when you uncork one of their bottles, you can feel, if only for an instant, the golden sun of Toro, the whisper of the wind among the vines and the love for a land that never ceases to surprise.
