Originally granted Denominación de Origen status in 1933, Toro’s winemaking suffered during and after the Spanish Civil War, rendering the designation obsolete until a new one was established in the late 1980s. Today the area is known for its full bodied, concentrated wines from the Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) grape, whilst a small amount of Garnacha - mostly used in Toro Rosado - and an even tinier amount of white varieties, Malvasía Blanca and Verdejo, are also grown.
