El Tritón 2017 es un vino tinto producido por la bodega Jorge Ordóñez en la Denominación de Origen Toro, dentro de la región de Castilla y León, España. Se elabora exclusivamente con la variedad Tinta de Toro.

El viñedo se extiende sobre 40 hectáreas situadas en las localidades de Morales y Toro, en la provincia de Zamora. Las vides se cultivan en vaso mediante prácticas manuales y orgánicas. Los suelos son muy arenosos de origen aluvial, con una capa de arcilla roja de unos 20 cm en el subsuelo, a una profundidad de entre 2 y 3 metros. En bodega, la fermentación se realiza en fermentadores abiertos. La fermentación maloláctica tiene lugar en barricas de roble francés procedentes de Borgoña y Burdeos. El vino se cría durante 8 meses sobre lías y se embotella sin filtrar ni clarificar.

En cata, el Tritón presenta un color cereza intenso. En nariz muestra aromas de fruta madura, hierbas secas, roble cremoso y fruta negra. En boca es potente, con notas de fruta madura, especiado y taninos maduros. James Suckling destaca un abanico de aromas a frutos del bosque maduros y frambuesa, con matices de galleta y arándanos, ofreciendo un paladar elegante con una sensación de esencia, gran riqueza y una textura abierta con frutos suaves y un final muy largo y maduro.

La Guía Peñín le otorga 93 puntos y James Suckling, 91. Este vino ofrece una expresión potente y madura de la variedad Tinta de Toro, resultando apto tanto para su consumo inmediato como para guarda.

An array of ripe dark-berry and raspberry aromas with biscuity nuances, as well as boysenberries. The palate has a sleek, essence-like feel. Such richness. Open-knit with soft berries. Very long and very ripe. Drink or hold.

Learn more about Jorge Ordóñez

Jorge Ordóñez founded Fine Estates from Spain in 1987, in the United States, and was the first American importer to keep and ship Spanish wine under refrigeration.

In 2004 he set up Bodegas Jorge Ordóñez Málaga in partnership with the Kracher family, from Austria, with the idea of reviving a winemaking tradition that phylloxera had destroyed in the nineteenth century. The wines were created by Alois Kracher from Muscat of Alexandria off old vines on slate and white quartz. In Málaga that grape has been grown for more than two thousand years.

His sister Victoria Ordóñez, a doctor of medicine who had previously run a biomedical research institute, joined the project while Alois Kracher, who died in 2007, was still alive; it was he who insisted on bringing her in and teaching her everything, from harvesting and grape selection to barrel ageing. In 2015 she parted company with her brother.

The Málaga wines come from the Lagar del Fraile vineyard, in Vélez-Málaga, in the Axarquía: slopes of up to 70% with no terracing, bush vines, organic and entirely hand-worked. They are late-harvested, and it takes 3.75 kilos of fruit for each 375-millilitre bottle.

He also has a project in Toro, Jorge Ordóñez Selección, which produces Tritón: forty hectares of bush vines in Morales and Toro, on very sandy alluvial soils with a layer of red clay two or three metres down.
