Toro, autumn 2026

I was born in San Pedro de Latarce, a small village in Valladolid, into a family of market gardeners. We had a vegetable plot and a vineyard that gave us our house wine, and from a very young age I knew there was something special about those harvest days, with the whole family out in the fields.

At eighteen I went into a kitchen. There I learned to value fresh produce and to train my palate, because every detail mattered. I never studied viticulture at a school: my teachers were the family harvest and the stoves, and what I learned back then stays with me every time I taste a wine.

In 1996 I came to Toro and here I stayed. This land of sandy soils, hard winters and long summers gives a grape full of character, Tinta de Toro, and I wanted to make wines with it that would be an honest expression of this place. In 2006 Bodega Latarce was born, named after my village, and in 2010 our first bottles came out.

They were not easy years. We were making natural and organic wines when the market did not yet know how to value them, but I never lost faith in what we were doing.

In March 2019 we opened the doors of our home. I wanted anyone who came to see us to be able to eat, drink and understand where each wine comes from, and for the winery to be what I have always dreamed of: one more monument of this beautiful town. Two years later, from our best harvest, came Gran Selección and Selección, the wines that best tell who we are.

I have not done any of this alone. My wife, Lucía, and my daughter, Andrea, share every decision with me, and with their help we keep going with determination, enthusiasm and a passion for doing things well. With us works a team that makes the wine, cooks and welcomes every visitor with the same warmth as on the first day.

In these pages you will find the wines that leave our winery today. I ask only one thing of you: open them unhurriedly and in good company. And if you are ever in Toro, come down to the barrel room. It will be a pleasure to raise a glass with you.

Warm regards,

Eladio San José Bratos

Toro

The land

The winery stands at the entrance to Toro, a land of great wines and good food. Its winemaking history goes back to Roman times: these wines crossed the Atlantic with Columbus, and Toro supplied France with wine when phylloxera devastated its vineyards at the beginning of the 20th century.

Here Tinta de Toro rules, the native variety we love most.

Latarce Gran Selección 2018

Red · Magnum 150 cl · 836 bottles

Our most ambitious expression. Depth, patience and an elegance rarely found in the glass: Tinta de Toro from selected vineyards over seventy years old, after a long rest in French oak barrels.

Each bottle leaves the winery in its numbered case: a tiny run that makes every one a collector’s piece.

Plum and fig over a background of nuts, black pepper and fine toast. On the palate, broad and structured, with a long finish.

Latarce Selección 2021

The soul of Latarce in a bottle. Intense character and fruity notes that capture the personality of our Toro vineyards.

Sixteen months in French oak barrels give it depth, silkiness and a long finish that calls for the next glass.

Deep cherry with violet hints. Ripe black fruit and liquorice over creamy oak. On the palate, fleshy and spicy, with ripe tannins.

Latarce Barrica 2024

Red · D.O. Toro

Selected barrels with a profile that respects the grape: the fruit and flowers of Tinta de Toro, alongside the vanilla and toast of the wood.

We bottle it when the wine is at its best. A firm attack, polished tannins and a smooth, lingering finish.

Ripe fruit and flowers interwoven with vanilla and gentle toast. Powerful on entry, it lingers harmoniously.

A rarity of the house. Tinta de Toro picked at the exact point of over-ripeness: candied black fruit, sweet spices and a velvety finish.

Very few bottles per vintage.

Prune and dried fig, sweet spices, vanilla and cocoa. Sweet and silky, with a refreshing acidity.

Latarce Selección Verdejo 2022

White · D.O. Toro

Freshness, flowers and fruit. A Verdejo with a personality of its own that defies expectations.

Four months in American oak barrels give it volume and a creamy depth that sets it apart from any conventional Verdejo.

Stone fruit and citrus, flowers, aromatic herbs and sweet spices. Unctuous, with lively acidity and a savoury finish.
