Description

1960 Syrah | DO Manchuela, Spain

 Organic 

1960 Syrah is a bold, fruit-driven Spanish red that brings together the naturally generous character of Syrah with the warmth and sunshine of Manchuela.

The name 1960 marks an important year in the history of the Tolosa family. In 1960, Juan José Tolosa inherited the small family winery that his grandparents José and Ana had established in 1905. His sons, Juan Miguel and Emilio, later continued the project and developed what we know today as Pagos de Familia Vega Tolosa.

Syrah thrives in this part of southeastern Spain, producing wines with plenty of ripe fruit, colour and character. Here, expect juicy blackberry and plum alongside peppery spice and subtle Mediterranean notes — rich enough to satisfy lovers of fuller-bodied reds, while remaining smooth and approachable.

There is nothing complicated about enjoying this wine. It is generous, warming and packed with dark fruit, making it an easy bottle to open with dinner, a plate of charcuterie or simply when you fancy a proper glass of red.

If you like Syrah but normally look towards France or Australia, this is a great opportunity to discover what the grape can do under the Spanish sun.

About Producer

Vega Tolosa is a family winery in Casas-Ibáñez, in the heart of DO Manchuela, with a winemaking history dating back to 1905. Today the fifth generation of the Tolosa family continues the story, combining more than a century of family tradition with modern winemaking and a strong commitment to organic viticulture.

The winery has become particularly known for championing Bobal, Manchuela’s native red grape, while also working with varieties including Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Interestingly, Syrah has its own place in Vega Tolosa’s history: when the family began bottling and marketing its own wines, their first wine was actually a Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah blend.

Their vineyards sit at around 700 metres above sea level, where hot sunny days and cooler nights help the grapes develop ripe fruit while retaining freshness. Today Vega Tolosa combines this distinctive Manchuela landscape with certified organic farming and a philosophy centred on protecting its vineyards and passing them on to the next generation.
