Matallana 2019 is a red wine produced by the Wine Company Telmo Rodríguez in the Ribera del Duero, specifically in the municipality of Fuentenebro. This area is known for its old bush-trained vineyards at high altitudes, allowing for slow and balanced maturation of the grapes. This wine reflects Telmo Rodríguez’s vision of recovering the wine traditions of the region, giving it a strong identity through its production. The wine is primarily composed of Tempranillo grapes, complemented by small proportions of traditional varieties mixed in the parcels, adding complexity to the final product. The harvest is done manually to ensure the quality of the grape selection, and fermentation takes place with native yeasts, reinforcing the regional character of the wine. Aging occurs in oak barrels and fudres for approximately 14 to 16 months, always aiming to respect the vineyard's expression while avoiding excessive oak influence. The result is an elegant wine with aromas of fresh red and black fruit, flowers, herbs, spicy notes, and a mineral background. On the palate, it is balanced and fresh, with fine tannins and good acidity, offering a long finish that faithfully reflects the character of the terroir. It is a gastronomic wine that pairs exceptionally well with meats, roasts, and game dishes, distinguished by its finesse, characteristic of the Ribera del Duero style.
