MatsuEl Recio Toro
About this product
Matsu, a Japanese word that means ""wait,"" conveys the philosophy of this project: waiting for nature to take its course, for the vineyards to turn 100, and for the perfect moment to open a bottle of wine. This project, rooted in Spain’s Toro region, pays homage to the generations of viticulturists who have worked the land. By focusing on ancient Tinta de Toro vines (Tempranillo) and collaborating with local growers, Matsu preserves the region's rich viticultural history. Each bottle features a portrait of a local winemaker representing the wine’s personality.El Recio (The Tough Guy) represents the middle generation of winemakers—combining the power of youth with the experience and refinement of age. This wine is sourced from 90- to 100-year-old vines and aged for 12 months in second-use French and Eastern European oak barrels.This is a deep, full-bodied expression of Tinta de Toro (Tempranillo). The nose is complex and enticing, offering aromas of crushed blackberries and dark plums underpinned by mocha and sweet spice. The palate is silken and voluminous with velvety tannins. It reveals a savory mineral depth that lingers through a long finish. El Recio is a wine of great balance and ""subtle power,"" embodying the rugged elegance of the Toro landscape.
