The Story
"El Picaro" - the youngest wine made by Matsu, created from Tempranillo grown using biodynamic methods. Its main feature is the strength and youth, and powerful structure with soft shell displays in taste rebellious, uncontrollable Spanish temperament. Tempranillo, which is collected by hand in the first fifteen days of October and delivered to the winery in small boxes. Vineyards consist mainly of old vines, aged up to 90 years. Fermentation in stainless steel vats made under strictly controlled temperature of 24ºC and provides freshness. In order to preserve the natural fruit flavors, malolactic fermentation is done in new French oak barrels. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. "El Picaro" means "mischievous" in Spanish, with a label featuring a portrait of the young owner of the winery. The other two wines by Matsu have images of his father and grandfather, personifying maturity and wisdom. Each photo of the three generations of winemakers is a reference to the nature of the wine inside.
About Matsu
Producer Story
Understanding the pace and process followed by nature, knowing how to wait for it to evolve without excessive intervention and settling for simplicity is something that the winegrowers in the D. O. Toro have been doing for years to create their wines. From this philosophy emerged the Matsu collection, a word that in Japanese means "wait" and perfectly summarizes what these wines are.
