Historia

Toro has two ingredients that have always attracted the attention of Vintae’s technical team. On the one hand, it is an area that traditionally has not interfered with the vineyard too much. On the other hand, there are old vineyards of extraordinary quality in the D. O. Toro.

 

Thanks to the climate conditions, with low humidity, and sandy soils there is no need to apply any chemical treatments to avoid diseases as other places do. This may have contributed to the tradition of respecting the pace and allowing nature to play its role. The tradition is such that there is a firm commitment to organic wines and biodynamic agriculture. This philosophy matches our technical team’s perspective to perfection, which is led by Raúl Acha, and it is one of the factors that contributed to calling their attention to this area called Toro.

 

So, convinced by the philosophy of respecting nature and his attraction to these extremely valuable vines, Raúl Acha initiates a journey to select vineyards with aim of including Toro wines to Vintae’s portfolio.

Viiniviljelykset

From among the extraordinary quality vineyards of D. O. Toro, Vintae’s technical team has selected true centenarian, or almost centenarian, gems from which a top quality grape is obtained. These vineyards produce the Tinta de Toro variety; are between 80 and 100 years of age and have a very low yield per vine; are located in very poor land; and are cultivated following the area’s tradition of not interfering with the natural processes and the pace set by nature, while using in many cases techniques employed in biodynamic agriculture.

 

The soils on which these vines grow are sandy and composed of sandstone, clay and Pliocene limestone. Altitude changes in each plot of land are practically non-existent; all the vineyards are located between 650 and 735 metres in the typical undulating land present in this area.

Viinivalmistus

A philosophy of respect for natural processes is followed when taking care of the vine and making the wine in the bodega, and external intervention is kept to a minimum. Harvesting is carried out manually with a careful selection of grapes and always picked at the optimum moment of maturity. The grapes were harvested in boxes and in small trailers, which were then quickly taken to the winery.

 

The fermentation of wines comprising the Matsu collection is carried out in 15,000-kilogram concrete deposits whose temperature is controlled so they do not exceed 24 degrees, which is an essential factor in order to preserve the grape and the freshness that is so typical of these wines.

 

The malolactic fermentation is realized in French oak barrels, as well as its ageing. This entire process is carried out in the space that Vintae has rented within the premises of the Covitoro co-op. In no case do Matsu wines undergo any aggressive filtering or clarification processes.

Sisäpiiritietoa

That El Viejo by Matsu is an incredible wine, that, we know. But now it has been confirmed by (until recently) Robert Parker’s taster for Spain, Neal Martin. And he does it by awarding the wine 94 points, placing it alongside wines from the Designation of Origin Toro that are up to four times more expensive than El Viejo.

 

Martin said “this is undoubtedly a sophisticated Toro red to which I am sure the elderly gentleman on the label would approve”. “It does have a beautifully defined bouquet, the oak assimilated into the pure dark berry fruit with style and class. The palate is smooth and caressing on the entry, building succinctly in the mouth towards a cashmere finish of licorice-tinged dark berries, spices and cloves”.
