About the Winery:
Matsu is a journey along the passage of time throughout three generations of winemakers. Youth, maturity and old age. A collection that has taken more than a hundred years to be elaborated with grapes from 100-year old vines, the wisdom inherited from generations and the most ancestral techniques.
Bodega Matsu sits in a land where the grape gives everything without asking for anything in return. Thanks to very special climatic conditions and a privileged soil that prevents the appearance of pests and diseases, in the DO Toro vineyards nature is always allowed to complete its own cycles.
The result is three modern wines, made respecting the minimum intervention both in the vineyard and in the cellar. The proof that by combining the power of Tinta de Toro with the gentleness of the land we come from, it is possible to produce an intense but elegant wine.
