Matsu El Viejo 2018 is an exquisite red wine from the Denomination of Origin Toro, made from 100% Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo) sourced from century-old vineyards grown naturally in the poor, sandy soils of Castilla y León. These low-yield vineyards ensure exceptional quality grapes, resulting in a deep and complex wine that reflects the powerful character of Toro wines. The production includes manual harvesting and careful selection of grapes. Fermentation involves prolonged macerations, followed by aging for about 16 months in new French oak barrels, which gives it a structure and elegance that does not obscure the fruit's intensity. On tasting, it presents a deep cherry red color with violet reflections. The nose reveals aromas of ripe dark fruits, cocoa, vanilla, and spices, complemented by subtle toasted notes. On the palate, it expresses itself powerfully and fleshy, with mature and silky tannins providing a velvety texture and a long, persistent finish. This wine is the perfect match for red meats, game, or aged cheeses, making every meal a gourmet experience.
