Almost all of its estate vineyards are planted to Tinta de Toro, the local form of Tempranillo, which in Toro's extreme continental climate gives wines of deep color, ripe fruit and firm structure. The winemaker, Frenchman Jean-François Hébrard, trained in Bordeaux before settling in Castilla y León.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrganic Vineyards and Traditional Winemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit for Quinta Quietud comes from bush vines planted between 1960 and 1988 at roughly 665 to 700 meters on sandy clay soils. The vineyards are dry farmed, worked by horse, harvested by hand and certified organic since 2002. Fermentation starts spontaneously with native yeasts in open, temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 24 to 30 months in 225 liter French oak barrels, no more than a third of them new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve and Food Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecant about an hour before serving and pour at 60 to 63°F.
