Final Sip
Lustroso is the flagship Tempranillo of Bodegas Latue. Founded in 1954 as a cooperative winery – made up of around 131 vine growing families in Toledo, Spain. Today, Bodegas Latue consists of around 450 descendant families,  and stands as one of Europe’s largest ecological wineries. This wine speaks of generations working hard to produce a well rounded medium-full bodied, good crowd pleaser, delicious red wine. It also has a cool label. ¡Salud!

Overall Rating: 8/10 Easy drinker, Crowd Pleaser, Tasty.
