Winery Overview
The enchanting wine town of Toro is where Spain’s medieval charm comes to life. Ensconced amidst the sun-kissed Castilian plains, this idyllic region boasts a captivating tapestry of ancient ruins, majestic castles, and sprawling vineyards. At its heart lies the resplendent Romanesque Colegiata church, serving as the soul of this humble town. Located in the renowned DO Wine Region of Toro, northwest of Ribera del Duero, it has emerged as a beacon of exceptional winemaking, particularly famous for its remarkable reds crafted from the revered Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) grape variety. As neighboring Ribera del Duero’s prices skyrocketed, Toro has emerged as the new frontier of outstanding value and quality in Spanish wines.
Within this vinous wonderland, Bodegas Fariña reigns supreme as the epitome of winemaking excellence. Founded in 1942, this esteemed winery has garnered acclaim as the area’s finest. At its helm is Manuel Fariña, a visionary director and patriarch whose unwavering dedication to his craft has earned him a reputation as one of Spain’s most brilliant and dynamic wine professionals. The winery’s flagship brand, “Colegiata,” pays homage to the exquisite church, offering a diverse range of wines, including white, rosé, red, Crianza, Reserva, Gran Reserva, and Old Vine. Each bottle represents an impeccable fusion of tradition and innovation, showcasing the distinctive essence of Toro’s terroir.
