Named for the Celt-Iberian settlement which, in 153 BC, was laid siege to by the Romans and encircled with a fence of moats and towers. Rather than submit to slavery, the Numantians burned the city and themselves, preferring to die free. In stark contrast, the old vine Tempranillo for Numanthia Termes was laid captive for an extended maceration and 16 months in French oak. And as such, a different fate.
