Wood aging for the Matsu El Recio Magnum

This red Matsu El Recio wine is also made from Tinto de Torro grapes grown on very old vines. The oldest vines are a hundred years old and produce a unique and especially powerful harvest. The wines are made in harmony with Spanish traditions, combined with purity and simplicity. The grapes enjoy the perfect climate with abundant sunshine but also a considerable amount of cool river breeze. This results in a slow and balanced harvest, allowing the grapes to fully absorb the rich soil structure. Once ripe, the bunches are hand-picked and transported to Matsu. Here, the bunches are gently pressed, and this El Recio is aged in wood for up to 14 months. French oak barrels are used, some of which are new and unused, giving the wine even more power.
