Matsu El Picaro

The Matsu El Picaro comes from the wine-growing region of Toro in northwestern Spain. This young wine is a pure varietal Tempranillo, which is known as Tinta de Toro in the Toro region. The grapes are biodynamically cultivated. The wine is an intense purple in the glass. Its bouquet is characterised by persistent aromas of black fruit such as blackberries or bilberries. The mineral notes are wonderfully fresh and complex, surrounded by a light sweetness. Fruit and fullness predominate on the palate as well, resulting from the ripe grapes. Despite its youth, the wine is extremely full-bodied and powerful, due to the ageing in French oak casks and the fact that aggressive filtering and clarification were deliberately avoided.

The Matsu El Picaro is vegan and a marvellous delight to enjoy on its own but is also a good accompaniment to moderately hearty dishes.

Product recommendation

Tinto Pesquera Crianza
Der Tinto Pesquera ist der Rotwein, mit dem sich die Familia Fernández Rivera seit den 1980er-Jahren in der internationalen Weinwelt einen großen Namen gemacht hat. Der herausragende spanische Tempranillo, von Robert Parker als Spitzenwein geadelt, hatte auch seinen Anteil daran, dass die Anbauregion Ribera del Duero im Norden Spaniens seit Jahrzehnten eine eindrucksvolle Erfolgsgeschichte schreibt. Freuen Sie sich also mit dem Fernández Rivera Tinto Pesquera Crianza auf einen spanischen Rotwein der Extraklasse. Der intensiv granatrote Wein duftet verführerisch nach dunklen Früchten wie Pflaumen, Schwarzkirschen und Maulbeeren. Dazu kommen harmonische, würzige Noten von Zimt, Vanille, Süßholz und Tabak. James Suckling verleiht dem Fernández Rivera Tinto Pesquera Crianza 93 Punkte. Er schreibt zum Bouquet des reinsortigen Tempranillo, der 16 Monate im Barrique ausgebaut wurde: „Frische schwarze Pflaumen und schwarze Kirschen, die die Eichenwürze aufnehmen, zusammen mit einem Hauch von Tabak.“Am Gaumen ist der Tinto Pesquera Crianza trocken und kraftvoll, mit einer schönen, fruchtbetonten Aromentiefe (Maulbeeren, Süßholz, getrocknete Feigen). Die feinkörnigen Tannine sind wunderbar eingebunden, das würzige Finale hallt noch sehr lange nach.Auch Suckling ist voll des Lobes: „Ein einnehmender und saftiger Ribera del Duero mit angenehm weichen Tanninen, die der konzentrierten Frucht Struktur verleihen. Lang und klar. Jetzt trinkreif, aber es ist besser, ihm ein Jahr Zeit zu geben, um weicher zu werden.“ Noch bis 2032 ist dieser Tempranillo ein Genuss-Garant. Entdecken Sie diese Kreation der Familia Fernández Rivera bei einer Trinktemperatur von 15 bis 17 Grad. Wir empfehlen, ihn 30 Minuten vor dem Genuss zu dekantieren. Der edle, finessenreiche Rotwein ist ein perfekter Begleiter zu gegrilltem Fleisch, Spanferkel oder Milchlamm mit Rosmarin. Auch zu reifem Käse eine sehr gute Wahl.

The wine was aged for 14 months in French oak casks as well. This Crianza was not filtered and was gently clarified, resulting in an exceptionally sophisticated and full-bodied wine. The Matsu El Recio offers intense fragrances of chocolate, vanilla and dark fruit. On the palate, the wine is silky and round. The subtle finish is characterised by a special creaminess and mineral, fruity notes. The characteristic power of the Toro wines is combined with a superb softness on the palate.This filigree Matsu El Recio goes beautifully with grilled dishes and hearty stews.
