Matsu El Recio is a red wine produced by the Matsu winery in the D.O. Toro. It is a modern project that is committed to organic and biodynamic agriculture. Matsu El Recio is 100% made from the Tinta de Toro variety. The grapes come from selected vineyards between 90 and 100 years old whose production is very limited. For the cultivation of the vineyards, biodynamic agriculture is used: the cycles of nature are followed, the least possible intervention is made and pesticides, herbicides and fungicides are avoided. It is noteworthy in this sense that the sandy soils and low humidity of the region mean that there is less need to use this type of products. For its production, the must ferments for 3 weeks in tanks of 15,000 kilos. Subsequently, malolactic fermentation is carried out in French oak barrels. In the same barrels Matsu El Recio is aged for 14 months after which the wine is not subjected to any filtering and is clarified avoiding aggressive processes, only natural ones.
Selection of vineyards up to 90 years old with limited production, planted on poor soils and cultivated in a natural way. Aged for 14 months in French and Eastern oak barrels of second use.
