Matsu El Viejo Toro

Matsu El Viejo Toro

Matsu El Viejo is made from Tinto de Toro, the local variety of Tempranillo in the Toro wine region, sourced from vines over 100 years old. The harvest is entirely by hand in the first 15 days of October when the grapes are fully ripe. The grapes are gently pressed in a pneumatic press, after which natural fermentation takes place in small concrete tanks. The wine is aged for 16 months in new French oak barrels, after which the wine is bottled without filtration to preserve its natural properties.

Matsu El Viejo is produced in limited quantities. The wine has a deep red color with purple tints. The scent is intense with aromas of ripe red fruit, nuts, spices and recognizable wood tones. The wine is full in the mouth, rich, spicy with red fruit and round tannins, followed by a long complex aftertaste in which the ripe fruit combines beautifully with the soft wood tones.
A unique wine that has received many national and international awards.

Matsu El Viejo is a unique accompaniment to rich meat dishes, lamb, game and stews, but also as an ending to a fantastic dinner with a nice selection of rich cheeses.

Matsu is Vintae's unique sustainable organic wine project in the Spanish wine region Toro. The Toro wine region is located northwest of Madrid on the Duero River and has been DO recognized since 1987. Raúl Acha, the winemaker of Vintae, went looking for old vineyards for organic viticulture, in his search he even found a vineyard with vines that are almost 100 years old. This search and the process of making the wines is reflected in the name of this wine project. Matsu means; "patient balance" in Japanese. Matsu is inspired by the Japanese tradition of nurturing nature in purity and simplicity. It is a tribute to the Spanish wine tradition. All wines are made from grapes that grow in a completely natural environment, according to the most advanced biodynamic techniques. The Matsu trilogy of wines depicts three generations of winemakers.
