If you do a Google search of Sangre de Toro (bull’s blood en ingles) peaches, you’ll pull up a whole mess of praise for a Spanish wine, but absolutely bupkiss about the peach varietal. This is a peach that will require you to go straight to the source for info. Is it this mystery that drives people to ask for it by name? A sort of locovore password that gets you a validating smile and nod from the growers?
The Tenerelli Orchards in Littlerock, CA are the peach wranglers of note when it comes to the Sangre de Toro. So I took a moment to chat with John Tenerelli this morning to see what the hubbub was.
