Characteristics
Matsu El Recio is a red wine produced by the winery Matsu in D.O. Toro.
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. 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.

Tasting notes
Sight
Dark ripe cherry colour with violet edges. Clean, bright and unctuous. A wine with uniform abundant tears which stain the glass. Nose
Nose with a high aromatic concentration and intensity. The toasted, spicy and smoked notes stand out on finer and subtler balsamic, mentholed and mineral nuances. After being oxygenated, some notes of very ripe fruit emerge with reminiscences of chocolate, cocoa and sweet spices. Taste
A well-bodied, intense and fleshy wine with a powerful attack and a great structure. During the mid palate, the notes of fruit are more intense than in the nose. It shows an unctuous texture which makes it very pleasant. Long and very persistent finish with a spicy, vegetal, animal and mineral aftertaste. Powerful. It will improve with some time in the bottle.

Sight
Intense, bright and deep cherry red colour with violet edges and a high layer. Slow-falling tears. Nose
Its elegant smoked aromas, its animal hints, and some mineral notes surprise us on first nosing. When the wine opens up, an explossion of fleshy ripe black fruit is released along with cocoa, coffee, black spices and intense toasted aromas. Taste
Even if it is very pleasant, El Recio is a powerful, very intense and full-bodied wine. It shows a silky mid palate with very expressive notes of fruit nuanced by the spices, the creamy notes and an intense mineral background. Structured wine with an excellent acidity and nice but still noticeable tannins. Long and very persistent finish with an intense toasted aftertaste.
Powerfull and robust, easy-drinking wine.
Sight
Dark cherry colour with violet edges. Bright and with a thin glyceric tear. Nose
This wine takes some time to open up but once opened it shows a great intensity with notes of ripe black fruit along with strong chocolate and toasted aromas on an elegant mineral background. Taste
Powerful, intense and, at the same time, very enjoyable wine. It shows a silky and creamy palate, with lots of fruit and toasted notes, vanilla and minerals. Balanced wine with tannins (not yet completely polished) and a long, lingering aftertaste.
A surprising and robust Toro wine .
