Winemaking Harvest takes place in the cool, early morning hours. The best bunches are selected and undergo a gentle crush. Whole clusters with stems undergo maceration at a cool temperature (59 F). After fermentation, the skins and stems are kept together in a post-fermentation extended maceration for seven days. Malolactic fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged for three months in oak barrels that are two years old. The wine is then bottled after spending one more month in tank.

The Story

"Gordo" is Patrick Mata's affectionate term for his father, José Mata. Across nearly four generations, Patrick's family has been involved in wine production in various Spanish regions, including Málaga, Montilla, Sanlucar, Rioja, and others. Their wines found their way to numerous countries, including the United States, both before and after the Prohibition era. However, in the 1960s, the demand for Málaga wines faced a significant decline, leading to the closure of the Mata winery in 1972. "Gordo" wine serves as a tribute to the Mata family's winemaking heritage, with a special focus on Patrick's father. Presently, after several decades, Patrick and Alberto Orte, operating under Vinos del Atlántico, are reviving their family's legacy. They are producing wines in various regions throughout the Iberian Peninsula, including the creation of this Monastrell, which beautifully encapsulates the richness and elegance of the southeastern Spanish terroir of Yecla.
