Matsu El Recio, Tempranillo, Castilla Y Leon, Toro, Spain 2021

This is a corpulent wine also having a lot of finesse, with an intense nose having notes of chocolate, black fruit and vanilla. In the mouth the taste is striking, being predominantly round and silky, very unctuous with subtle hints of the glycerine. Touches of fruit lingers in the after taste as do mineral notes. This is a full body wine yet at the same time very easy to drink.

Toro has two ingredients that have always attracted the attention of Vintae’s technical team. On the one hand, it is an area that traditionally has not interfered with the vineyard too much. On the other hand, there are old vineyards of extraordinary quality in the D. O. Toro. Thanks to the climate conditions, with low humidity, and sandy soils there is no need to apply any chemical treatments to avoid diseases as other places do. This may have contributed to the tradition of respecting the pace and allowing nature to play its role. The tradition is such that there is a firm commitment to organic wines and biodynamic agriculture. This philosophy matches our technical team’s perspective to perfection, which is led by Raúl Acha, and it is one of the factors that contributed to calling their attention to this area called Toro. So, convinced by the philosophy of respecting nature and his attraction to these extremely valuable vines, Raúl Acha initiates a journey to select vineyards with aim of including Toro wines to Vintae’s portfolio.
