Tasting Note:
This is a modern project that is committed to organic and biodynamic agriculture.
Matsu El Recio is produced 100% from the variety Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo). The grapes come from selected vineyards between 90 and 100 years old with a very limited production.
For the cultivation of the vineyards they use biodynamic agriculture: following the cycles of nature, with very little intervention and avoiding the use of pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. In this sense, it is noteworthy that the sandy soils and the low humidity of the region mean that there is no need to use this kind of products.
For its elaboration, the must ferments during 3 weeks in 15,000-kg deposits. After this, it goes through malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels. In the same barrels, Matsu El Recio ages for 14 months. After this, the wine is not filtered and it is clarified avoiding aggressive processes, using only natural ones.
